August Albert Zimmermann, Two resting hunters... Lot 41

August Albert Zimmermann, Two resting hunters in front of the Watzmann massif. Oil on canvas. 32.5 x 40.4 cm. Framed. Zimmermann was especially appreciated for his sublime depictions of the Upper Bavarian and Lower Austrian mountain worlds. Two hunters hold a dialogue with nature and direct their eyes to the imposing backdrop of the snow-covered Watzmann massif. Two further versions of this motif were created, one in German private ownership, the other in the possession of the Freital Municipal Collections.
