Anna Gumlich-Kempf (b. Berlin 1860, d. 1940)

Pink light and shadows on a house in a country garden. Signed A. Gumlich-Kempf. Oil on paper laid on cardboard. Sheet size 29.5×40 cm.

Anna Gumlich-Kempf was a student of the German-French painter René Grönland (1849–1892), who at the time was one of the leading artists in the still life-genre. As the result of her education, Gumlich-Kempf was best known for her still lifes, although she also painted landscapes such as the present work depicting a garden with shadows and sunlight playing on the brickwork through the treetops.

Over the years she exhibited at the Great Art Exhibition in Berlin (Grosse Berliner Kunstausstellung) between 1903 and 1920 as well as in the exhibition hall, Glaspalast, in Munich.
