Koester; Alexander Max
1864 Bergneustadt (Cologne) - 1932 Munich

The Duckpond.

Signed twice in lower right: A. Koester ...ster. Oil on canvas. 51;5 x 69 cm.

The painting's outline was probably reduced in size by the artist; who appears to have added the second signature following this process. The change is also notable in the "tension marks" on the canvas.
Art trade; Van Ham.
