This beautiful painting, which is attributed to the Austrian painter Igo Pötsch shows an Alpine landscape. The first spring dew revealed fields and meadows from the snow, while the mountain peaks remain covered in white. The depiction is rendered in a masterful expressive style in a thick layer of paint. A very similar landscape by Igo Pötsch is shown in an essay by Dr. Anne Hofmann-Heck in the famous monthly journal 'Der getreue Eckart' (year 17, 1939/40).



The painting is in very good condition. It is created in oil on panel; at the back is another, inchoate work. The dark, wooden frame shows some indentations and material loss. The dimensions are framed 93 x 89 cm, unframed 80 x 75 cm.
