Oswald Achenbach - Italian woodland landscape with staffage
Oswald Achenbach
Italian woodland landscape with staffage
Oil on canvas (relined). 28.5 x 43.7 cm.
Monogrammed and dated lower right:18 OA 51.
By the time this charming oil sketch was created, Oswald Achenbach had already travelled to Italy on several occasions.
The female figure dressed in white at the centre of the painting appears repeatedly in Achenbach’s Italian woodland landscapes. It almost seems as though one could trace her path through the woods of this coveted destination by following his paintings.
Certificate
Dr. Walter Cohen, Düsseldorf, 3.4.1922.
Provenance
In second generation in private collection, Germany.
