Description
Junge Frau
in traditional costume with a bouquet of flowers in her left hand and a jug with a lid on her left arm, in the background a hilly river landscape. Anonymous oil on canvas, 19th century, approx. 100 x 83 cm. In a gold-colored stucco frame. The painting is reminiscent of the Milkmaid by Adolf Schmidt, a representative of the (early) Düsseldorf school of painting who blurs the boundary between genre painting and portrait. Here, too, a realism in detail seems to be combined with an idealization of the motif to create a universal idea. - Somewhat dusty, tls. Dents. D
