Wilhelm Busch (1832 Wiedensahl - 1908 Mechtshausen) Child's head Like almost all of Busch's paintings, the present oil study is small-format and, with its deliberate lack of detail, is entirely focused on the overall mood. The painting was created around 1880-1893 during Busch's most important and productive creative phase as a painter, executed in a tonal coloring with very little red and a quick style. The work also reflects the direct influence of Dutch-Flemish painters of the 17th century on the artist, who is known today primarily as a humorist draughtsman and poet. Busch studied from 1851-1853, first at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf and then at the Academy in Antwerp, where he was able to see the Old Masters in the original with great enthusiasm. Oil/paper (or thin card), mounted on thick card. Old inscription verso; 6.3 cm x 11.5 cm. Frame. Wvz. Gmelin 612. Provenance: German private collection; Galerie Koch, Hanover; German private collection, Münster Oil on thin cardboard (or paper), laid down on thick cardboard. Mentioned in the catalogue raisonné (Gemlin no. 235).

Wilhelm Busch (1832 Wiedensahl - 1908 Mechtshausen) "Farmer with a barrel". Original title Interior with a so-called "red jacket" - a farmer in a red jacket - painted in a fluid, quick style. Typical motif and style, probably created around 1890-1892, small cabinet painting by the draughtsman, poet and painter who became particularly famous for his picture stories. Busch studied at the academies in Düsseldorf, Antwerp and Munich from 1851, where he joined the "Jung-München" artists' association. His encounter with 17th-century Dutch painting in Antwerp - especially with Adriaen Brouwer - had a formative influence on his painterly oeuvre. The "redcoat pictures" inspired by this are a focal point, forming the motif in more than a quarter of his paintings. Oil/paper (or thin card), mounted on thicker card. Mounted adhesive label on verso with confirmation of authenticity "I hereby confirm that the painting 'Bauer mit Faß' overleaf was painted by Wilhelm Busch and has been in my possession since his death. Verden, 3.10.(19)23 Mrs. L. Nöldeke". 13.5 cm x 8.2 cm. Frame. Listed in the inventory of Hans Georg Gmelin, no. 373. Provenance: Elisabeth Nöldeke née Koch (1871 - 1952), wife of Busch's nephew Adolf Nöldeke (1865 - 1919), Verden (1923); Galerie J. H. Bauer, Hanover; German private collection, Münster. Oil on paper (or thin cardboard), laid down on cardboard. On the reverse a label with certificate of authenticity by the wife of the artist's nephew Elisabeth Nöldeke, dated 1923. Mentioned in the catalogue raisonné (Gmelin no. 373).
