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.

Unidentified Artist
17th-Century Tavern Scene
Oil on canvas
Framed: 113 x 103 cm Canvas: 96 x 91 cm
This 17th-century oil painting captures a lively tavern scene, a popular subject in Dutch and Flemish genre painting of the Golden Age. The composition is rich in character and storytelling, depicting a group of men engaged in a card game, with coins, letters, and drinks scattered across the table. A standing woman, possibly a barmaid or concerned onlooker, leans in, while a man enters from the left, holding his hat and appearing amused by the game. In the foreground, a small child tends to a jug and tankard, adding a touch of humor and domestic realism.
Executed in oil on canvas, the painting showcases earthy, warm tones and rich chiaroscuro, emphasizing the candlelit glow of the scene. The artist masterfully captures the textures of fabrics, wood, and metal, giving depth and dimension to the environment. The expressive faces and animated gestures highlight the social interactions typical of Dutch and Flemish tavern paintings...
