Worthmann (XX) - Waldbach mit Felsblöcken im Sonnenlicht

Waldbach with Boulder Blocks in Sunlight Düsseldorf School, around 1900 – Oil on cardboard, verso labeled “Worthmann” WORK A stream rushes over mossy stones toward the viewer, on the left and right are large boulder blocks, behind them a dense leafy forest through which the sun breaks and the foliage glows in yellow and light green; on the right two robust tree trunks. Light is the theme: dappled and impastoed, patches of light on leaves, water, and rock. A forest brook motif, as the Düsseldorf school painters depicted since Achenbach – en plein air painting around 1900. Landscape format, 34 x 46.4 cm. ARTIST The front of the painting is unsigned. On the back, in blue pen, “Worthmann.” is written, along with the pencil number “14408.” A marking on the back is not a signature; we mention it but make no attribution. In artist lexicons there is a Johannes Wortmann (1844 Ronsdorf – 1920 Düsseldorf), a pupil of Oswald Achenbach – whether the designation refers to him cannot be determined without a comparison work. Technique: oil on cardboard. Image size: 34 x 46.4 cm Frame size: 52.2 x 63.5 x 3.8 cm Framed weight: 900 g Signature: none on the front; back labeled “Worthmann.” in pencil “14408.” ORIGIN From private collection, acquired into our stock in 2026.
