3 Männer am Hafen. Frühe 1940s.
Oil on canvas.
Titled on verso as well as with estate stamp and signature of estate administrator Eberhard Seel. 20,8 x 28,5 cm (8,1 x 11,2 in). [KP].
We are grateful to Dr. Marlis Zilkens, Cologne, for her kind expert advice.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Baden-Württemberg.
The busy and yet idyllic and almost Arcadian harbor scene with its individual motifs is characteristic of the artist’s work: Particularly the naked boy in the right background carrying an amphora on his shoulders appears in many works. The harmony of composition and content – the depicted harbor presumably is on Ischia – once more delivers proof of the fascination for the Mediterranean island that had become the artist’s second home. [KP].
