Mid 20th Century Mannerist view of boats in a harbour scene by E Tiedemann. The painting is signed and dated bottom left. Presented in very fine wood, gesso and silver leaf frame.
A charming view of sail boats at dock in a port. The boats are carrying agricultural and other produce so maybe this presents an inland canal scene. One of them is proudly called 'Roma'. On the dockside there are people in period costume, washing and a rug hang from an upper balcony. Colourful geraniums sit on a window ledge and smoke snakes from one of the chimneys. Blue sky above and all the colours reflected in the water. Tiedemann has created a wonderful perspective and composition full of colour and detail in a very distinctive style of his own.
