K. WOLF (1901–1993), Mountain Range versus Traunstein, 1945, Watercolor Karl Wolf (1901 Munich – 1993): Mountain Range versus Traunstein, 1945, Watercolor Technique: Watercolor on paper, mounted on paper Catalog Raisonné: , 297-A-1945-26 Stamp: Estate stamp, Karl Wolf Estate. Inscription: Signed on the reverse: "Karl Wolf". Inscribed on the reverse in the artist’s hand: “Volkrading | 25 x 35 b | Mountain Range versus Traunstein Mountains | Sheet 26.” Dated on the reverse: “June 22, 1945.” Date: 1945 Description: The mountains stand out in bright blue against the flat Alpine foothills. A single tree stands out prominently on the left. A beautiful study of light and color under a cloudy sky. The watercolor depicts a vast landscape with a single tree in the foreground on the left. The composition is divided into several horizontal layers: a green meadow in the foreground, a row of darker bushes and trees in the middle ground, and a mountain range in shades of blue in the background. The sky is slightly cloudy, with soft gray tones that create a calm, almost meditative atmosphere. The tree is bright green and stands out clearly from the rest of the landscape. The color transitions are soft and flowing, typical of the watercolor technique, which gives the painting an impressionistic effect. There are no human figures or animals; the tranquility and untouched nature are emphasized. Provenance: From the artist’s estate. Bibliography: Wolf, Monika: Karl Wolf (1901–1993).
