Bernhard Dörries - Bernhard Dörries 1898 Hanover - 1978 Bielefeld - ”Reading at the Window” - Oil on canvas. 102 x 87 cm. Inscribed on old paper label on verso: Artist: Bernhard Dörries / Title: Reading at the Window. Partially restored. Slight paint losses. Slightly soiled. Dirt marks on verso. Dörries studied at the Technical University of Hanover and was a professor there. In this skillfully color-intensive composition of a reading lady with a bouquet of flowers and a view into a summer garden, the artist seems to have processed contemporary expressionist developments of the 1910s, such as those by August Macke.
