About the Item

A Woman Lounges in a Hammock Whilst Her Suitor Reads Aloud” by Robert C. Kluth – Oil on Canvas, c. 1890–1910 (Unframed) A poetic and tranquil genre painting by Robert C. Kluth (German-American, 1854–1921), titled “A Woman Lounges in a Hammock Whilst Her Suitor Reads Aloud.” This oil on canvas captures an intimate outdoor moment between a woman reclining gracefully in a hammock and a gentleman seated nearby, reading aloud from a book. The lush, wooded background and soft natural light add depth and atmosphere to this evocative late 19th-century scene. Executed in a warm, realist style typical of the American Gilded Age, this work reflects themes of romance, leisure, and intellectual courtship. Kluth’s composition and subject matter align with the aesthetic values of the period, echoing the influence of painters such as Eastman Johnson and Winslow Homer.
