CARLOS CONRAD GRETHE 1864 Montevideo, Uruguay - 1913 Nieuwpoort, Belgium THREE WORKS: IN THE BOAT Pencil and charcoal on paper, partially heightened with white. Sight size 31 x 39 cm (F. 51 x 66 cm), 24 x 28 cm (F. 49 x 52 cm). Monogrammed, signed. Each framed behind glass. This group of works documents Grethe's intensive exploration of the ship's interior - a motif he systematically developed from 1888 onwards. In contrast to the purely illustrative marine painting of his time, Grethe places the viewer directly on the deck. Provenance: Private Collection, Düsseldorf.
