About the Item
Ludwig Hans Fischer (1848–1915) – "Colombo" (1889)
An exceptional original watercolor by Austrian artist Ludwig Hans Fischer (1848–1915), titled "Colombo" (1889). This vibrant and meticulously detailed painting captures a lively scene in 19th-century Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka), depicting daily life in a tropical village with traditional houses, palm trees, and locals engaging in trade and conversation. The artist’s expert use of light and color brings an almost photographic realism to the composition, reflecting his mastery of ethnographic and travel art.
