AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The frame measures 59 cm by 43 cm.
The painting is signed by C. Ostersetzer and dated 1905.
The painting is done on wood and is overall in very good condition.
Ostersetzer was active in Munich for a time. He painted rather small-format pictures, mostly oil on wood or on canvas. He signed with “C. Ostersetzer.”
Among other works, he created depictions of craftsmen at their work or in their typical surroundings. His portrayal of a blacksmith was evaluated in 2012 on the television program Kunst und Krempel. It was emphasized that the depicted smithy in a similar form could have existed two to three centuries before the painter’s time, but would have belonged to the past only a few decades later. The painting was interpreted as a farewell to the traditional small craftsman from the era of the transition to large industrial enterprises.
Paintings by these artists are also well auctioned by well-known auction houses, especially paintings featuring craftsmen.
