Edward Cucuel Untitled (Zwei Damen am See) Circa 1930-1940 Oil on canvas. 65.2 x 130.4 cm. Framed. Signed 'Cucuel' in black lower right. - Minor retouches. We would like to thank Bernd Dürr, Munich, for his oral confirmation of authenticity and for additional information. Provenance Private collection, Hesse; private ownership, Rhineland-Palatinate An atmospheric panorama of Lake Starnberg: the left half of the picture features a row of sailing boats, presumably of the "Sonderklasse" type. Regattas were also organised for this class of boats in Bavaria from 1898 onwards – most of the participants came from the aristocracy and upper class. Far off in the background, Cucuel has depicted the “blue” mountains and, on the right, he has depicted the elegantly dressed ladies so typical of his work resting and standing on a meadow next to a sailing club. Suggested by the positioning of their heads, longing and concern can be read into the gazes of the two ladies.
