Provenance: - South German private collection. - A seascape in the personal style and subject of the Munich painter Ludwig Meixner, atmospherically bathed in the light of the moon at night. Until the 19th century, the lake was regarded as a mystical place shrouded in legend that was still little discovered, let alone familiar. In keeping with this impression, our scene is mysterious. The scene is only enlivened by a few staffage figures on the beach. One of them is a man working as a fisherman. Accompanied by his dog, he is casting his fishing rod, about to snatch the next catch from the sea. - Stylistically, the work can be assigned to the Romantic period; the scene radiates a dark, almost morbid beauty.
