Helmut Liesegang, Autumnal Park View in Wiesbaden, oil on canvas, 1923 - An autumnal park landscape executed in oil on canvas by Helmut Liesegang. The work depicts a group of trees with dense, yellow-ochre foliage in an Impressionist style with pronounced impasto. In the centre of the composition, figures pass a stone bench towards a building with a distinctive, green-painted round-arched portal. The foreground is characterised by a thick layer of fallen autumn leaves in shades of red and brown. The painting is signed H. Liesegang in dark paint and dated 1923 at the lower right. On the reverse of the frame, there is an inscription in blue paint at the bottom reading 'Wiesbaden'. At the top right of the frame, there is a handwritten note 'Letztes Park 250.-'. An older paper label at the top edge of the frame bears the designation 'W. K. V. 357'. The work is stretched on a wooden stretcher frame with corner wedges and is presented in a wide, black lacquered wooden frame with a gold-coloured, relief-decorated ornamental moulding.
