About the Item

German painter (18th–19th century) - Trompe l'oeil with documents, engravings and still life. 38 x 53 cm (without frame) - 41.5 x 56.5 cm (with frame). Tempera on paper, in a gilt wood frame (not signed). A German-speaking painter active around the turn of the 19th century. The work belongs to the trompe l'oeil letter-rack tradition, a compositional genre with deep roots in Northern European painting, in which cards, prints, documents and printed ephemera are arranged in simulated disorder against a painted wooden background. The illusionistic rendering is precise and carefully observed: a French Revolutionary assignat, an Austrian genealogical almanac, figural engravings, a landscape with a bridge, a gentleman's portrait and a small still life with a cat, fruit and vegetables are all depicted with controlled naturalism. The German and French texts visible on the cards point to a cultivated Central European milieu, most plausibly locatable in the Austro-German sphere between the late 18th and the early 19th century. Condition report: Good state of conservation of the painted surface, with signs of ageing and wear. • This item is sold with attribution and age documentation with legal validity. • Further details on the condition report are available upon request.

Trompe l'oeil [untitled]. Homage.... Ink drawing, multimedia, 1837. Paper size 13.13 x 16.44" (33.3 x 41.8 cm). On watermarked paper "Blauw and Briel." Overall good condition. Small tears and the occasional bit of paper missing at the paper edge. Original color. Center paper crease - as issued. We believe the artist created this artwork on a sheet of paper that had been previously bound in a book. Dutch trompe l'oeil drawing with pen & ink, pencil, sepia, and black chalk, wax seal, and painted pigment. This montage of early 19th century ephemera depicts sheet music, scenic views, a sealed letter, cards, a portrait of an unknown sitter, and a penned sheet noting ... van S. G. Wezel Wassenaar, October 1837. Is this a homage to the individual portrayed, a metaphorical self-portrait, or just a random assortment of ephemera beautifully composed? The artist keeps us wondering and visually appeased by a striking harmony created through contrast. This piece starts with sheet music entitled; Romance Larghetto No 2. There is a Psalm and Op Jezus Geboorte (On Jesus Birth...
