STEPHANIE VON TRAUTTWEILLER (1888-?) listed Austrian art impressionist floral still life

Fine Art : Paintings : European : 20th Century : Impressionism

 

This is a very attractive floral stil life of roses, tulips, and forsythia, in an attractive ceramic vase, signed at lower right by listed Austrian artist STEPHANIE VON TRAUTTWEILLER, the works of whom sell regularly at auction in Austria and elsewhere in Europe. This example is 24" by 36" plus 3" of frame and liner. The painting is light and airy----very light and summery. It's really a fine work from a distance, and it holds up close up as well---the impressionist brushstrokes and colors reminding me of the works of the major French impressionists like Renoir or Monet. The painting is in very good condition, though close up the colors of the red roses and some of the cloth are a little "blanched", for want of a better word, due to extremely fine craquelure. To me this isn't a problem but I would certainly mention it. I think the photos of those areas show this blanching. Otherwise the painting is a little warped on the stretcher, and that could probably be corrected were this placed in a new sturdy frame. The present one isn't terrible flattering and it has some losses in two corners, and the liner is soiled and needs to be replaced. There's a label affixed to the stretcher giving the biography of the artist. She was born in 1888, and we don't know the death date. Trauttweiller was a member of the "Segantinibund", which indicates she was associated with the important Swiss impressionist Segantini. Shipping wizard figures are guesstimates.
