Lot 1141: A Vintage Jürgen Runge Oil on Board Landscape
A vintage oil on board landscape painting by Jürgen Runge, depicting a thatched cottage in a coastal setting. The work is executed in a heavy impasto technique, showing expressive, textured brushwork across the rustic red-walled cottage, the winding foreground path, and the distant sailboats on a calm body of water. The composition is rendered in a palette of earthy ochres, deep reds, and greens beneath a pale, cloudy sky. A signature is present in the lower right corner in dark gestural script reading Runge. The painting is housed in a modern white-painted wooden frame with a wide, textured hessian inner mount. Visible labels include a white rectangular adhesive sticker for HCP Auctions South West reading Lot 1141, along with smaller white numbered stickers reading 1026 and 103, and a pink circular sticker marked B.
Condition report:
The painting is in good overall condition. There is a light accumulation of surface dust and minor dirt visible across the impasto texture (photo 1). The white-painted frame shows minor age-related wear and light scuffing to the edges (photo 1, photo 4). The hessian mount appears clean with no significant staining or damage. No major paint loss, repairs, or significant craquelure are evident.
