Herman Moest (1868-1945) Oils Study: Female Nude in Landscape

Here's another little gem listed on eBay Austria. It is a quick study in oils on canvas of a female nude in landscape by the well listed German artist Herman Moest (1868-1945).

Monogrammist "GK" ..... Art Deco: The Sailboat

A seller on eBay Austria recently listed this nice little painting from the Art Deco era. It certainly has an heroic quality to it based upon the overall composition and genuine "nobility" of the two subjects. It is monogrammed "GK" and not fully signed, so the artist is lost to us. Still, it is a nicely executed figure study.
