Berlin Painter, c. 1902
With a dedication of donation from 1911 and a residual label on the reverse.
Framed in a gilded Rococo-style frame.
View of the leafy Humboldthain with the centrally placed bull, gleaming in its white marble on a pedestal. Ernst Moritz Geyger (1861–1941) maintained a studio in Florence from 1895 and another in Berlin. Besides his well-known Bowman, his second major sculptural work is the marble bull erected in Berlin’s Humboldthain, whose highly detailed naturalistic execution took him several years of work, from 1896 to 1900. The marble sculpture was promised to Humboldthain after the purchase of the Bowman—following the Emperor’s intervention—could not be realized. The sculpture was destroyed during World War II, making this painting an important testament.
