Werner Reuter, Farmhouse Interior With Painted Trunk & Chair

A detailed interior scene with a hand-painted trunk, chair, textiles, and clock, by German artist, Werner Reuter (1902-1962). You can almost hear the clock gently ticking as you while away the hours in this beautiful farmhouse.

Reuter had a workshop in Lübeck, North Germany, and he enjoyed painting interior scenes. Another of his works depicts him in his studio surrounded by canvases, frames and supplies. Two large windows provide an abundance of light.

The painting is signed in the lower right and housed in a frame that’s probably the original.
