An authentic original antique German Impressionist oil painting on board titled "Mignon" by listed German genre artist Richard Borrmeister (1876–1938), dating from circa 1900–1920. Celebrated for his romanticized figurative compositions and illustrative works in the early 20th century, Borrmeister beautifully captures a young woman in classical peasant attire playing a mandolin against a serene coastal sunset backdrop.
The painting measures approximately 12.5" x 8.5" and comes housed in its original heavy gilt wood gallery frame (approx. 14.5" x 10.5"). The reverse backing retains exceptional provenance, featuring the artist's authentic hand-written pencil signature "R. Borrmeister" alongside the pencil-inscribed title "Mignon" and a vintage "Boards" label.
CONDITION REPORT: Offered entirely as-is. The painting features vibrant pigment retention, beautiful aged varnish, and a secure frame setup. Note localized flaking and paint loss along the far-left edge margin, as pictured.
