Complete set of Stations of the Cross oil paintings by Völkel
German, 1909
Canvas: Height 80cm, width 82cm
Frame: Height 134cm, width 111cm, depth 8cm
Painted in 1909 by the German artist Oswald Völkel (1873-1952), this complete set of 14 paintings depicts all Stations of the Cross.
Unusually shaped, the artworks are expertly painted, each one transporting the viewer to the deeply spiritual and important event during Jesus’ walk to Mount Calvary in Jerusalem where he got crucified. Jesus, the most important figure in the paintings, is represented in bright colours, in particular highlighting his crown of thorns which represents pain.
Eleven out of the fourteen paintings are framed. The frames are beautifully carved from wood and most include Romon numerals painted on top to signify the number of the station. The canvas is framed by a giltwood border. Several of the frames also include painted titles of the stations underneath the painted canvas.
The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, is a series of illustrations portraying the Passion of Jesus, the short time before he got crucified. Being one of the most popular religious objects, they can be found in most Western Christian Churches. Believers can walk the symbolic path of Jesus in what is known as the Via Dolorosa, a processional route in Jerusalem. However, for those who cannot attend such a journey, the series of images acts as a way of bringing one closer to Jesus.
Völkel’s painting depicting the first station is signed in the lower left ‘O. Völkel pinx. 1909.’ while the painting depicting station ten is signed in the lower right ‘O. Voelkel pinx. 1909’. On the reverse of one canvas, the following message is written ‘Dieser Kreuznreg nrurde / gestifitet von den Geschwustern / Kresenz Kuhn / u. Viktoria Jhle geb. Kuhn / i. Seigen / Einweihung / d.30.I.1910. / kompon.u.gemalt / osw. Völkel München’.

19th century Dutch oil painting of a musical scene
Dutch, Late 19th Century
Board: Height 28.5cm, width 24cm
Frame: Height 46.5cm, width 42cm, depth 7cm
This beautifully composed 19th-century oil painting offers an evocative glimpse into everyday domestic life, centring on a tender moment between a mother and her child. Set at the open window of a period townhouse, the woman gently cradles her toddler, who wears a traditional white cap and a 19th century toddler gown, clutching a small metal rattle. Dressed in refined mid-19th century fashion, the mother wears a vivid orange dress beneath a vibrant pelerine and a pink-ribboned lace cap—indicating her middle-class status and contemporary taste.
Adding a charming narrative layer, she reaches down to touch the cap of a young street musician...

Group portrait painting after the hunt, oil on canvas
Located in London, GB
This charming painting depicts a group of gentlemen gathered around a kitchen table and admiring an English Setter. The snowy rooftops, just visible from the kitchen window, combined with the lit fire and holly decorating the picture frames in the room, implies that this is a Christmas scene. It also appears that the gentlemen have just returned from a fox hunt, and are now warming themselves, drinking port and smoking long pipes by the fire.
Five men — three gathered behind the table and two standing in front — are identically dressed in long black riding boots...
