Blick auf den Ortler von St. Valentin. 1889.
Watercolor over pencil.
Brandes 374. Signed and dated in lower left as well as inscribed with the work number "Op. DCLXXVI". On firm wove paper, mounted on creme backing board. 45.5 x 69.8 cm (17.9 x 27.4 in) , the full sheet.

PROVENANCE: Gemälde Cabinett Unger, Munich (with gallery label on rear of frame).
Private collection Southern Germany.

Our watercolor likely served as model for a painting in possession of the Messner Mountain Museums, Ortles (cf. Brandes p. 229, illu. 375). Apart from just a few details, the oil on canvas composition matches our watercolor, they differ only in terms of the arrangement of the rooftops in left background as well as the cloud formations.
