Provenance Kunsthaus Peiffer, Düsseldorf (predecessor of today's Peter Karbstein Kunst und Auktionshaus, circa 1960); Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia Literature Cf. Jutta Götzmann/Hendrikje Warmt, Karl Hagemeister. "Das Licht, das ewig wechselt...". Landschaftsmalerei des deutschen Impressionismus, Potsdam 2020, p. 162, cat. no. 116 "Winter Landscape on the Havel" fits perfectly, stylistically speaking, into the artist’s late Impressionist period. Using a technique of applying paint characteristic of Hagemeister, the vast blanket of snow is captured only in a sketchy manner. The artist’s late work is characterised by atmospheric landscapes such as this pastel.
