Initialed by the artist: 'FK' on the lower left of the painting.

About the Artist: Franz Ludwig Kiederich (1873 - 1950), was the son of the painter Paul Wilhelm Kiederich (1842-1921) and grandson of the painter Paul Joseph Kiederich. From 1890 to 1900 he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Until 1902 he was a master student of Claus Meyer and mimicked the style of his romanticised and anecdotal paintings which depict the lives of those 'close to the land'. Later he changed styles in favour of more realistic and less romanticised works. Abandoning the current trends of the period, Kiederich undertook trips through Holland, Belgium, England, France, Italy and Switzerland. Throughout, he concentrated on painting country landscapes and portraits of people as they tended to their agricultural work. He captured these scenes with a sensitive attention to natural light as influenced by the impressionists. In February 1953, the Kunstverein for the Rhineland and Westphalia, led by Hildebrand Gurlitt, honored Kiederich with a memorial exhibition at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf which was also dedicated to the painters Ernst te Peerdt, Walter Petersen and Max Stern. Kiederich's artworks have become available at European auction houses and are exhibited publicly in the Museum at Düsseldorf, Germany.

- La lecture au jardin (Lesson in the Garden)By Georges d'EspagnatLocated in New Orleans, LAFrench Post-Impressionist painter Georges d’Espagnat captures a charming moment between a mother and her child in this vibrant oil on canvas. Rendered with a studied use of complementary colors and bold brushstrokes, the painting showcases the artist's unique Post-Impressionist style. Remembered as one of the most individualistic artists of the 20th century, his distinctive canvases bring together the loose brushwork of the Impressionists and the bold color palette favored by the Fauves. Together, they achieve a vibrant spontaneity that lends itself well to the carefree subjects of the present work. Masterfully composed, La lecture au jardin moves beyond the Impressionist instinct to capture a fleeting moment on canvas. Rather, d'Espagnat succeeds in creating a deep feeling of harmony in the work. Warm colors are perfectly balanced with cool tones, while vertical and horizontal lines are softened by the curves of the foliage and his subjects' figures. Through his simplification of forms and intentional use of color and line, he creates a scene that is carefully designed and thoroughly modern. A similar view of a mother and her child by d'Espagnat is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York). The Post-Impressionist painter was an individualist since his youth, choosing to forgo traditional schooling in order to independently study the Old Masters in the Louvre. He soon became involved with the most prominent Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters of the age, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Signac, who themselves existed outside the traditional norms of French Academic training. In 1891, he exhibited at the Salon des Refusés, and again the following year at the Salon des Indépendants. By 1895, he held his first one-man show in Paris, and just three years later his success earned him a solo show at the prestigious Durand-Ruel Gallery. Between 1905 and 1910 he made several trips to visit Renoir on the Côte d’Azur. Their close friendship resulted in a group exhibition at Marcel Bernheim...Category
