Munich School (XIX-XX) - Poultry in a Barn Interior

​A high-quality oil on canvas from the prestigious Munich School (Münchner Schule), dating to the turn of the 20th century (circa 1890–1910).

The artwork depicts a classic rural scene: a majestic rooster and three hens in a barn, rendered with the naturalistic precision typical of masters like Carl Jutz or Julius Scheuerer.
​
The painting is remarkable for its luminous impasto, particularly visible in the iridescent plumage of the rooster. The atmospheric lighting and the "portrait-like" character of the animals reflect the peak of German animalist painting of the late 19th century.
​
Double Framing & Conservation
​The artwork is presented in a professional double-framing system that enhances its visual importance:
​Inner Frame: A beautiful period-original frame (c. 1900) with a faux-marble/root wood finish and gilded profiles. Note: This inner frame has been professionally reinforced with modern metal staples on the reverse to ensure structural integrity.
​Outer Frame: A contemporary "over-frame" that encases the original one, providing a deep, gallery-style presentation and extra protection.
​
Condition Report
​Surface: Excellent condition. The paint layer is vibrant and stable. Notably, there is no visible craquelure, which is rare for this period and indicates the painting has been kept in a stable, moisture-controlled environment or professionally varnished.
​
Support: Original canvas and wooden stretcher. The canvas is tight and secure.
​Reverse: The back shows the natural patina of 100+ year-old wood, with modern mounting points ensuring the double-frame assembly is solid and ready to hang.
