Lot 275

Description

After Hugo Wilhelm Kauffmann, 
German 1844-1915- 

The Zither Player; 

oil on canvas, 50.7 x 61 cm. 

Provenance: 
Private Collection, UK. 

Note: 
The present work is a copy after Kauffmann's 1879 original painting, depicting a group of figures in a tavern listening intently to a girl playing a stringed instrument identified as a zither. Kauffman was the son of the artist Hermann Kauffmann (1808-1889) and studied under Jakob Becker (1810-1872) and Eduard von Steinle (1810-1886). He was a key proponent of the Munich School, with his output consisting largely of genre scenes, typically featuring figures in traditional dress in tavern interiors, making the present composition typical of Kauffmann's approach.
