Adolph von Menzel

Adolph von Menzel 1815 - 1905 Vor der Kirchtür. 1890. Watercolor, gouache and pastel. Signed and dated in the lower left. On thin cardboard. 20.3 x 15.9 cm (7.9 x 6.2 in), the full sheet. [AW]. • A delicate small work of extraordinary radiance. • With impressive naturalism, the artist captures a moment in time that displays both graphic and painterly qualities in its execution. • A precisely observed everyday scene set in the context of sacred architecture, typical of Menzel’s late work. • Works by the most significant realist of the 19th century are at renowned museums such as the National Gallery in London, the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, and the Neue Pinakothek in Munich.
