Jungfrau, Alpine Landscape (Late 19th-Century)

£100.00

A charming late nineteenth-century oil on board depicting travellers crossing a wooden bridge above a rushing mountain stream beneath the snow-covered Jungfrau peak. The Jungfrau is a 4,158-meter (13,642-foot) mountain in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, famous for forming a massive, scenic wall with the Eiger and Mönch peaks.

Executed in the Romantic Alpine tradition, the composition is closely related to examples painted by John Ross Key (1837-1920), John Fery (1859-1934) and works attributed to Hermann Herzog (1832-1932), indicating that it derives from a popular and widely repeated nineteenth-century mountain landscape design.

The reverse retains a period pencil inscription identifying the subject as "Jungfrau", together with historic price annotations (for 12 guineas, and separately six shillings), adding to the painting's interest and provenance.

Framed; oil on board; unsigned; cabinet painting.
