William Henry Dethlef Koerner Figurative Paintings

1878-1938
An impressionistic, antique landscape painting depicting the rugged coastal beauty of Race Point Beach, Massechusets. The rocky coastline and rushing waves are rendered in luminous shades of pink, turquoise, blue, green, indigo, and purple. The painting is executed in oil on board and measures 14 x 16 inches. It is attractively framed and ready to hang in a dark brown frame with a decorative motif. This piece was purchased by our gallery directly from the daughter of W. H. D. Koerner (1878 - 1938).
