Description from the seller
Autumn by the River, 1937
Ernst Hugo Eiselt – Oil on Canvas, signed and dated 1937
WORK
A quiet river in autumn: From the right, trees bend over the water in blazing red, orange and gold, while on the left the bank remains in green foliage. The river leads into a misty view; leaves, treetops and sky are reflected in the calm water. Thick, shimmering brushwork in the foliage. Horizontal format, 51.4 x 78.2 cm.

PROVENANCE
From the Doris Fliegner collection. Doris Fliegner was a teacher in Salzgitter and Helmstedt and collected art throughout her life, with a focus on the Braunschweig region. Unlike Worpswede or Dachau, Braunschweig never had an artists’ colony; the art life was carried by the Kunstverein (founded 1832), the School of Arts and Crafts, from which today’s Academy of Fine Arts emerged, artist clubs such as the “Feuchte Pinsel” (1881), and bourgeois collectors – collectors like Doris Fliegner. Her collection includes groups of works by Braunschweig painters Karl Neuß and Hedwig Hornburg and works by the Salzgitter painter Gustav Hagemann. When and where she acquired this painting is not recorded.
CONDITION

FRAME AND HANGING
