Using cool, harmonious shades of blue, Walther Gamerith depicts this private moment of serenity in a straightforward yet lyrical way. Portraits, nudes, and atmospheric landscapes were some of the painter’s favorite subjects. Encouraged by Karl Ludwig Strauch, who also recognized Egon Schiele’s talent, he studied at the Vienna Academy. He later lived in Vienna and at the Attersee and became a member of the Künstlerhaus, participating in numerous exhibitions. He died unexpectedly in his 46th year.
