Oil on canvas, signed lower right
Image size: 15 x 18 1/4 inches (38.2 x 46.2 cm)
Hand-carved giltwood frame
Provenance
Bernard Toublanc-Michel Collection
This work is one of Ottmann''s later pieces, demonstrating his artistic development. In contrast to his earlier pieces, it is much more Impressionist in nature, utilising broad brushstrokes and non-naturalistic colour to a greater extent than his earlier works that took a more detailed approach. In particular, the use of colour hints at Ottmann''s experimentation with Fauvism - if he had not died so young in such a tragic accident, who knows where this experimentation could have led the artist in his mature career.
