Signed on the house in the right foreground: f. d. momper Certificate Dr. Fritz Heinemann, Munich, 1.2.1954 (copy of the certificate). The paintings by Frans de Momper are characterised by the expansive and generous composition of the landscapes as well as a striking rendering of the leafless trees in the foreground. The artist especially favoured winter landscapes, which he painted using almost the entire spectrum of brown tones available to him.
