This fine painting is by the Berlin painter Johann Eusebius Anton Forst (1783-1866). Forst, who worked mainly as a porcelain painter at the Königliche Porzellanmanufaktur, created only a few paintings in oil, showing different views of Berlin. This painting at hand shows a noble villa closely situated by the Tiergarten. Rendered in a very delicate and detailed style, which reveals the hand of a porcelain painter, the villa is shown framed by tall, vertical trees and a decorative fence. People taking a stroll on a wide street are found in the foreground of the image, admiring the elegant architecture. Above the scene stretches a friendly, blue sky with feathery, white clouds.
The painting is of visually appealing condition. The paint shows some very fine craquelure and is protected by a layer of varnish. At some areas, touch-ups are discernible, especially along the lower edge. The canvas has been relined. The painting is signed and dated lower left 'J. Forst f(ecit) 1821'. It is framed in a fine stucco frame, which shows some minor traces of age and wear. The overall dimensions are framed 53 x 64 cm, and unframed 44 x 54 cm. The stretcher frame is inscribed on verso “Berlin Haus am Tiergarten 1821” and is provided with a label, comprising a short biography and information on the artist.
