K. WOLF (1901-1993), Forest path, 1924, Watercolor Karl Wolf (1901 Munich - 1993 ): Forest path, 1924, Watercolor Technique: Watercolor on Paper Catalogue Raisonné: , 004-A-1924-13 Inscription: Lower right signed: "KW". Verso inscribed by the artist's hand: "Burglauer 1924 | 33 x 23 h". Date: 1924 Description: The picture shows a dense, green forest with tall, slender trees whose trunks are painted in various shades of brown. The treetops form a dense canopy through which soft light falls and casts bright spots on the forest floor. The viewer's gaze is drawn through the vertical lines of the trees into the depths of the forest, creating a strong sense of spatial depth. The composition is dynamic, with curved lines that capture the natural irregularity of the forest. There are no figures or animals, which draws attention to the calm, almost meditative atmosphere of nature. Provenance: From the estate of the artist.
