- A harmonious blend of masterful draftsmanship and vibrant green oil paint accents in the hair.
- Stuck’s portraits of women are among his most sought-after works on the auction market.
- Works by Munich’s “Prince of Painters” are held in international collections, including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
