Karl Krummacher (1867-1955), zugeschrieben - Bauer mit Rechen

Oil painting on canvas, lined onto cardboard. The painting is attributed to Karl Krummacher (* April 8, 1867, in Elberfeld; † June 20, 1955, in Worpswede). He was a German Impressionist painter and a contemporary of the founders of the Worpswede artists’ colony.
Karl Krummacher came from a very old family of aldermen and pastors from Westphalia. His ancestor Henrik (* 1534) was an alderman in Warendorf. Krummacher’s painting style belongs to Impressionism, and he was an expert on the French Impressionists. His subjects included landscapes, but especially the farmers and “ordinary people” of Worpswede. From 1884 to 1888, he studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with several of the “Old Worpswede” artists. The painting measures 72 x 3 x 58 cm with the frame and 64 x 49.5 cm without it. The frame is included as a gift.
