AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Discovered at the roadside in Fischerhude, that Lower Saxony artist village that has drawn artists like Otto Modersohn and Fritz Overbeck for more than a hundred years—a fitting setting for such a special, Chagall-like piece with an expressionist hand.
Two-winged screen made from two historic doors of an old softwood wardrobe. The doors were set into a frame and presumably painted with acrylic paint, perhaps also oil, each featuring a figure (woman or man) with a floral motif in bold blue, yellow, and red tones, in colors reminiscent of Marc Chagall. Not a mass-produced item, not a reproduction – a one-of-a-kind piece.
The lower part of each wing is a solid color (olive green / blue). Pine wood frame with hinges, fully functional as a room divider.
Material: Acrylic on wood (historic wardrobe doors), pine wood frame
Condition: signs of age-appropriate wear on the frame (scratches, see photos), painting in good original condition, uncleaned
Dimensions:
• Height: approx. 197 cm
• Width per wing: approx. 45.5 cm
• Total width unfolded: approx. 92 cm
