Kummer, Carl Robert View of Dresden from Wolfshügel in the Evening Light. Oil on paper, mounted on cardboard. 27.7 x 41.7 cm. The painting depicts a view of Dresden from a distance, framed by a picturesque natural backdrop and bathed in atmospheric light. The vast Elbe Valley unfolds before the viewer at sunset, while a lone hiker approaches from the left in the foreground. A row of pine trees, together with large boulders, tree stumps, and the slope gently descending into the valley in the background, form the landscape. Elisabeth Nüdling confirms Carl Robert Kummer’s authorship based on a digital image (email dated August 4, 2026). Provenance: Probably Friedrich August Kummer the Younger (cellist and composer, 1797 Meiningen – 1879 Dresden). Moritz Börner (active as a French horn player in the Royal Musical Chapel, Dresden, from 1860 to 1870, according to a handwritten note from 1956 on the back of the frame by Paula Börner, who also confirms Carl Robert Kummer’s authorship). - Please ask for condition reports for the lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
