Oil on canvas
Estimate:
€ 18,000 - 24,000
$ 20,340 - 27,120
Enten am Teich. 1909.
Oil on canvas.
Signed in the lower right. 54.5 x 82 cm (21.4 x 32.2 in).
• Landscape painter Alexander Koester finally discovered the dominant theme of his oeuvre, atmospheric depictions of ducks, during a stay in Klausen in the Eisack Valley, a South Tyrolean artists' retreat, in 1896.
• With a free, impressionistic, broad, and loose application of the paint, Koester captured the fleeting moment of the animals frolicking in the water, the play of light and shadow on their plumage, and the reflections of the sunlight on the water's surface.
• His works soon became popular and entered collections and museums. Emperor Wilhelm II and King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy acquired two duck paintings (1900 and 1907).
• In 1904, the artist was represented with three duck paintings at the World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, and was awarded a gold medal.
• Similar works can be found in, among others, the collections of the Neue Pinakothek, Bavarian State Painting Collections, Munich, and the Belvedere in Vienna.
