Genre Painting of Men Conversing by Hedwig Oehring (German, 1855-1907)

About the Item

GENRE PAINTING OF MEN CONVERSING OVER A PINT BY HEDWIG OEHRING (GERMANY, 1855-1907) Signed "H. Oehring / Munchen" lower left; in oil on panel; partial label verso "636" Item # 012NPP03O An attractive genre scene oil on panel depicting two German men engaged in conversation about the newspaper by Hedwig Oehring. The shopkeeper on the left appearing to be simply taking a short break while the gentleman on the right seems a bit more permanently settled in his seat. He appears to have borrowed some tobacco from the shopkeeper while he discusses what he is reading. It is signed lower left "H. Oehring / Munchen" and the reverse of the panel is stamped by the supply shop Oehring often acquired his canvases and panels from, reading "Adrian Brugger / Munchen / Theatinerstrasse No. 1" while also retaining a partial label "636", perhaps an inventory number. The work is unframed. Measurements: 12 5/8" H x 9 3/8" W x 1/4" panel thickness Condition report: Would benefit from being cleaned eventually. Light edge wear from the frame rubbing. Light craquelure throughout. A few faint surface abrasions/scuffs in the wall behind the seated figures, a very faint scratch to the barrel on left side. Under UV appears to be free of any inpainting.

German Landscape Painting of Alpine Mountain Waterfall by Guido Hampe
By Guido Hampe
Located in Shippensburg, PA
GUIDO HAMPE German, 1839-1902 Alpine Landscape with Waterfall (1881) Oil on canvas signed lower right "G. Hampe '81" Item # 106QJY03C An incredibly powerful Romantic landscape of the Alpine mountains with a waterfall cascading into a valley, the river pouring over the rocks and curving around the bend, flowing past a pair of figures seated on a grassy noll with a transcendant unearthly lighting that creates a focal point of the couple. It is as if the clouds have opened up just to shine light on them, emphasizing the glorious day the man and woman are experiencing on this leisurely hike through nature. Painted by Guido Hampe in 1881, the painting was acquired by Charles S. Shultz, president of the Hoboken Bank in Montclair, New Jersey where it remained in his home until its deaccession from the home in 2021. The home was particularly interesting for its total originality, the interior looking almost identical throughout its entire life to how it appeared at its inception in 1896. Enclosed in the collection of images is a shot of the painting in situ over the living room fireplace as captured by the Montclair Magazine article on the home in 2020. The work is signed in his typical script lower right "G. Hampe / 81". It remains housed in the original and substantial giltwood frame, fully restored and a very powerful presentation. An article on the Charles S. Schultz home can be found by clicking here. Artist Listings & Bibliography: *. E. Benezit Dictionary of Artists, Vol. VI, Gründ, 2006, p. 1105 Measurements: 32 1/4" H x 42 1/2" W [canvas]; 48 1/2" H x 58 5/8" W x 5 1/4" D [frame] Condition Report: A fine presentation ready to place: frame with minor wear/abrasion/loss; canvas with trace grime in the mountain tops and sky and all-over moderate craquelure. Surface bright and vibrant. Retains the original frame that we have had professionally restored with trace regilding and inpainting, some elements recreated; the restoration has preserved the antique nature of the frame and all restoration has been toned to match the aged aesthetic of the frame. Painting was acquired with its apparently first surface, an incredibly thick grime layer that significantly obscured the image - this was likely due to its placement above the fireplace in the Charles Shultz...
