It notes Bismarck's protection and Schweninger's limited social success within academic circles.
The piece critiques Franz von Lenbach and mentions Schweninger in a contentious portrait of Bismarck’s circle. It highlights Schweninger’s vanity, public bravado, and refusal to answer imperial inquiries, contrasting him with Lenbach and the late prince’s stature. The tone laments a decline in dignity within Germany’s artistic and royal circles.
