Item Overview

Description

Otto Weber (German, 1832-1888) "The Horse Market", oil on canvas, 48" x 70", signed lower right "O. Weber", verso retains partial label en verso "Otto Weber/Rillestrag?/Parlag No. 9 ?". Presented in a period carved giltwood frame. This painting was exhibited in the Maryland Historical Society's Seventh Exhibition of Paintings held in 1868. The lot is accompanied by a copy of the exhibition catalogue that lists the painting as number 82 and the owner as J. H. Meredith. A review of the exhibition from a newspaper clipping states "Amongst the critics who have visited the rooms, the opinion is nearly universal that the 'Horse Market' by Otto Weber is really the great thing. It was purchased in Berlin by Mr. J. H. Meredith, a few years since, and has been loaned to the Exposition. In the foreground are a large number of figures, and the grouping of them, the expression of the faces, the delicate tints of coloring, and the reflection of light upon the houses in the background, combine to form a picture whereupon the eye and taste may feast long and constantly discover new beauties".
