painted circa 1895 <p>Estimate: $25,000-35,000 <p> Provenance
Estate of Dr. John F. Werderitsch <p> Scouting the Trunk typifies the sensitive approach Louis Moeller would take throughout his career to the modulating tones and colors that constituted and captured the intellectual space of his subjects and their era. The rich tones and attention to detail which he so carefully recorded are quintessential to capturing the Victorian sensitivities that defined their time. <p>Elder men depicted in their contemplations are frequent subjects for the artist who won over public sentiment with the most unusual of subjects. Like Whistler's Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother, Moeller would expand the viewers sense of the world around them through the quiet examination of timelessness and the silent world of the intellect. Scouting the Trunk achieves the success that we have come to associate with an artist who won his first major award, The Hallgarten Prize at the National Academy of Design, at the age of 29.
