He arguably became most notable for his command, along with the Austro-Hungarian commander Svetozar Borojević, during the victorious Battle of Caporetto in October–November 1917. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von

The image is a black-and-white portrait of a man in military attire. He is wearing a uniform with epaulets on the shoulders, indicating a rank, and a cross medal or decoration pinned to the left side of his chest. The uniform appears to be from the early 20th century, given the style of the epaulets and the overall design. The man has a mustache and is bald. The photograph has a border with text at the bottom right corner that reads "A 222" and "E.P.&Co., A.G.L." This suggests it is a professional photograph, likely taken by a specific studio or photographer. The style of the photograph and the uniform suggest it could be from the World War I era.
