Benjamin Vautier (1829 Morges – 1898 Düsseldorf) Early Practice at the Spinning Wheel A charming genre painting depicting a little girl learning to spin under her grandmother’s guidance, set within a richly detailed still-life-like interior by the well-known Düsseldorf genre painter Vautier. After only a brief period of study at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art in 1850, the Swiss artist became friends with Ludwig Knaus, with whom he undertook various journeys. Under Knaus’s influence, Vautier turned to genre painting, studying its motifs primarily in the Bernese Oberland in the years that followed. In 1857, he settled permanently in Düsseldorf and quickly rose to become one of the most important genre painters of the Düsseldorf School. Oil on canvas; signed lower left; 20.5 cm x 25 cm. Framed. Oil on canvas. Signed.
