Christian Rohlfs (1849 Niendorf – Hagen 1938) Amaryllis Water tempera on lightly textured watercolor paper by J. W. Zander. (19)25. Approx. 77 x 57 cm. Monogrammed and dated lower left. Inscribed on the reverse as “No. 7 Amaryllis II.” Not listed in Vogt. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Christian Rohlfs Archive, Osthaus Museum Hagen, dated April 2024. The work is cataloged in the archive under the number “CRA 270/24.” Flower still lifes were Rohlfs’s preferred subjects in his late work—he usually found his motifs in his own garden. In his artistic quest to fuse light and color into a single unity, Rohlfs abandoned oil painting in favor of watercolor and tempera painting during the 1920s. In this technique, he found new ways to dematerialize his subjects. Provenance: Private collection, Berlin; Collection, Rhineland, since 2024. Taxation: subject to regular taxation (VAT: Regular Taxation).
