All auctions / Miscellaneous / German school (XVIII) - Anciano comiendo
Oil on canvas depicting an elderly woman in profile, holding a spoon and a container, following the tradition of hyperrealist portraits of the German school. The composition clearly recalls the works of Balthasar Denner (1685–1749) for the naturalistic treatment of the aged face, chiaroscuro, and the meticulous detail. The framed measurements are 70x60 (height x width). The unframed measurements are approximately 57x47. The work comes from a Spanish private collection and retains an old gold frame. There is a historical report dated in Madrid, January 7, 1973, signed by an academic and art historian, who regarded the painting as a work by Denner. The report will be delivered to the buyer. However, the attribution has not been confirmed by international auction houses, so the work is offered as belonging to the circle, school, or tradition of Balthasar Denner, and is sold in accordance with the photographs. The painting exhibits notable pictorial quality, especially in the treatment of the face, hands, and lighting effects. It is an interesting piece for collectors of German Old Master or Baroque painting.
