Adolf Meissner, A Woodcutter In The Snow
A charming 19th-century study of a woodcutter in the snow by German painter, Adolf Meissner (1837-1902). He created this in advance of a larger work ‘Shepherd with herd and woodcutter in a snowy landscape'.
It depicts an elderly lady resting while carrying a weighty collection of sticks on her back. She’s extending her right arm as if she’s calling out to someone for assistance.
In the larger piece, a shepherd has stopped by her and she’s reaching up for refreshments. He offers her a drink as his flock attempt to graze through the snow underfoot.
Meissner trained at the Dresden Art Academy under Robert Kummer and Ludwig Richter. He was known for his wintery pastoral landscapes and often visited Switzerland for inspiration.
His works are highly regarded and he’s represented at several museums and international galleries. In 1902, some of his well-known paintings were shown at the Munich Glass Palace.
The study is housed within a suitable wooden frame and signed in the lower right.

Overall size: 15½” x 19” / 40cm x 49cm
Year of creation: c. 1870
Provenance: Germany

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
