Carl Wuttke, German 1849-1927- Landscape view... Lot 268

Carl Wuttke, German 1849-1927- Landscape view with palm trees and dhows on the river; oil on paper, signed 'C. Wuttke' (lower left), 17.1 x 25.4 cm. Note: Wuttke produced striking works from his travels across Europe and further afield, including the United States in 1893, and China and Japan in 1898. He also travelled to North Africa, visiting Algeria, Egypt, and Sudan, and it is from these experiences that many of his most significant and recognisable works originate. The present work is characteristic of Wuttke's style, exhibiting his bold use of colour, with the pinky hues of the horizon and the light blue of the skies above evoking the hot, hazy atmosphere of what appears to be a Middle Eastern landscape.
