Hugo Kauffmann (1844 Hamburg – 1915 Prien/Chiemsee) Expectation The image of the peasant woman in her Sunday best, standing pensively or longingly at the parlor window, is characteristic of the Munich genre painter Kauffmann. The subtle play of light in a room illuminated only sparingly by a small round window, the meticulous rendering of the clothing—as if from a traditional costume book—and the still life of a cloth and a faience jug set in the semi-darkness all attest to the artist’s keen and sensitive powers of observation as well as his penchant for the anecdotal. Kauffmann studied at the Städel Art Institute in Frankfurt am Main from 1861 to 1863 and settled in Munich and Prien beginning in 1871. In his extensive body of work, he devoted himself to Bavarian folk life in all its sensory and moral manifestations. Oil on wood. Signed and dated on the reverse (18)93. 20.5 cm x 16 cm. Framed. Oil on panel. Signed and dated.
