Title of the work: Mill House

Material: Oil on wood, pine wood frame with stucco, gilded, colored.
Inner frame visible from the back, pine wood frame stretched with canvas on the back
Subject: Idyllic river landscape with a historic half-timbered house, mill dam and waterfall.
Style: Düsseldorf School - academic realism, late-impressionist lighting moods and nature fidelity
Signature: Bottom right, hand-signed and dated by the artist: “Gondorf 1931”. Additionally, there is a matching brass plaque centered on the frame (Gondorf 1931).
Framing: High-quality, heavy and gilded stucco frame with beautiful craquelé texture on the inner edge, which perfectly underscores the antique character.
Provenance & Condition:
• Around 1930/1940: Creation of the work by landscape painter Hubert Gondorf (1881–1956).
• Until 1991: Remained in private ownership (region Hessen/Rhine-Main likely).
• 1991: Expert conservation and elaborate doubling (mounted on a second canvas for permanent stabilization and to prevent wave formation) at the renowned Hans K. Neubert Painting House, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim (documented by workshop label, blank owner plaque, and the original archive signature of the restorer “91/91 H. Neubert” on the artist’s canvas).
• After that until today: Maintained private ownership.
Condition:
The painting itself is in excellent, undamaged condition with strong colors. The stucco frame is also very well preserved and only shows a minimal, small damage to the stucco (see close-up photo).

Inner frame and painting: 89 cm W x 69 cm H
