Roman Genre Scene with a young Lady wearing Coral and Gold Jewellry, Rome 1834 - the young Lady is holding her hands on a Wine Jug (such as she would tell the viewer: "No more wine"), a Winery Cave with Wine Leafs in the background - Oil on canvas, 68 by 85 cm (26 3/4 by 33 1/2 inch), with frame 91 x 108 cm (36 by 42 1/2 inch) - signed lower left "C. Baumbach" and inscribed by the artist with location and date "Rom, 1834" - cleaned and good condition - original wooden frame - Price (collection in Hamburg): on request

Note: The artist painted this scene from his own experience while he stayed in Rome, Italy 1834. He studied at the Academy in Dresden from 1819 on and later became a student of famous Gottfried Schadow in Dusseldorf. After his travels in Italy (1833 and 1834) he worked in Munich (where he became member of the Munich Art Club), Oldenburg (where he became Court Painter) and Hamburg (where eg. this painting was exhibited at Commeter). He also exhited in Dresden and in Berlin at the Academy. This painting fits perfect for a living room with light colors and in combination with antique and/or modern furniture. Provenance: Private Collection, Dusseldorf, previously exhibited at Gallery Commeter, Hamburg. This work left behind the ascetic and religious art of the Nazarener Circle (which he knew through Schadow and the German Artists in Rome) to perfectly express the Biedermeier Desire of Romantic Beauty in Italy.
