Description from the seller
Emil Kuhlmann-Reher (Lübeck 1886–1957 Munich)
Pipe and wine
Oil on canvas, signed lower left “E. Kuhlmann-Reher München”
56.5 × 49 cm
An old man in seventeenth-century costume sits in a tavern. He wears a broad black hat, a white collar, a brown buttoned jerkin and green velvet sleeves, and holds a painted beer mug. A long clay pipe is in his mouth; the bowl rests in his other hand on the table. Beside him stands a blue-and-white stoneware jug with a pewter mount. A copper pan hangs on the wall, with a small framed picture above it and a column at the left.
Kuhlmann-Reher was a Munich genre painter. He studied at the Munich Academy and made his name with tavern and peasant subjects in the Munich tradition: costume, pipe, jug and a half-smile, painted smoothly and tightly. The signature and the word München are lower left. The signature has been checked under ultraviolet light and is consistent with the paint layer.
Support and frame
