Ludwig von Hoffman (1861-1945): Junge in Einer Felslandschaft (Boy in Rocky Landscape)

*
These seldom seen works by Ludwin von Hoffman (1861-1945) keep popping up occasionally in European Auction Houses, this time in the current catalog of Villa Grisebach Auktionen, Berlin, DE. I do not recall ever seeing this one in books on his works, still a nicely executed study of a male youth in landscape. If you have an extra six thousand Euros to get the bidding war going you might want to throw your name in the pot.
