/internal/media/dispatcher/16388/fullStill Life with Porcelain and Red Roses1939[Paul Walter Ehrhardt]Paul Walter EhrhardtOil on canvas A white curtain rests elegantly arranged on a tabletop. Alongside, we see a big-bellied porcelain vase, a pearl necklace dangling from a champagne bowl, a small porcelain figurine, and a golden box with three red roses set center stage. In this still life, the colors, shapes, and textures of the individual items are subtly coordinated. German painter Paul Ehrhardt, who mostly worked in Munich, is known for such “paintings of interiors” characterized by muted colors and a distinctive Biedermeier aesthetic. This painting was shown at the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich in 1940 and then passed into the collection of Reich Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop.
