The present work is a spectacular jewel-like canvas by Amigoni, rich in delicate pastel colors, most likely a modello for an altarpiece either lost or never painted. In it the Madonna stands firmly upon a cloud in the heavens, her Child resting on a delicate veil further supported by a cloud, as he gently wraps his arm around his mother’s neck. From above angels prepare to lower flowers and a wreath, while other angels and seraphim surrounding the two joyfully cavort.

Hedwig Mechle – Grossmann (1857 - 1928) Rose Flower Girl , 1920 - Oil Painting

Located in Meinisberg, CH
Hedwig Mechle - Grossmann
(Germann, * 3rd of December 1857, Görlitz - † 1st of October, 1928 Ödenburg)
Die Kleine Rosenverkäuferin - The Little Rose Seller
• Oil on carse canvas, ca. 100 x 75 cm
• Frame, 107 x 81 cm
• Signed and dated 1920 upper right
This large painting will make everybody stop, look, smile and want to buy a lovely rose from that charming girl. Take your time and have a look at the details … the stopper of the water ceramic bottle, her piece of bread, the torn and frayed clothing and more.
Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery.
Hedwig Mechle-Grossmann is well known and appreciated for her expressive genre scenes depicting children. Born in Görlitz, she worked in Berlin and moved on to Ödenburg, where she died. Important examples of her work are held in the Ödenburg Landesmuseum.
A few words on condition:
The painting has received slight sympathetic restoration - The partially frayed edges have been professionally relined with a narrow strip of new canvas for strength and then the canvas has been re-stretched on to the original stretcher, with the arms of the stretcher covering most of the newly attached strips of canvas.
One of the arms of the stretcher has suffered slight worm damage in the past. That short section has been treated, stabilized and the restorer covered the unsightly area with a strip of the same canvas, which was used to reline the edges.
The frame seems to be original (certainly early 20thC) - the corners have been re-glued, small areas have been retouched and minor sections of the molding are missing.
