GENRE PAINTING OF MEN CONVERSING OVER A PINT BY HEDWIG OEHRING (GERMANY, 1855-1907)
Signed "H. Oehring / Munchen" lower left; in oil on panel; partial label verso "636"
Item # 012NPP03O  An attractive genre scene oil on panel depicting two German men engaged in conversation about the newspaper by Hedwig Oehring. The shopkeeper on the left appearing to be simply taking a short break while the gentleman on the right seems a bit more permanently settled in his seat. He appears to have borrowed some tobacco from the shopkeeper while he discusses what he is reading. It is signed lower left "H. Oehring / Munchen" and the reverse of the panel is stamped by the supply shop Oehring often acquired his canvases and panels from, reading "Adrian Brugger / Munchen / Theatinerstrasse No. 1" while also retaining a partial label "636", perhaps an inventory number. The work is unframed.
Measurements: 12 5/8" H x 9 3/8" W x 1/4" panel thickness Condition Report:
Would benefit from being cleaned eventually. Light edge wear from the frame rubbing. Light craquelure throughout. A few faint surface abrasions/scuffs in the wall behind the seated figures, a very faint scratch to the barrel on left side. Under UV appears to be free of any inpainting.
