^Lot 53 E. Lotichius Cronberg (German, 19th Century) Deer in Forest 1874 Oil on Canvas Framed Original

Tear in the canvas. 30X40" in antique frame. Lotichius is a documented German surname, particularly associated with the Hessen and Kronberg/Cronberg im Taunus region-an active 19th‑century artists' colony. The "Cronberg" inscription almost certainly refers to this center of Düsseldorf‑ and Munich‑influenced painters. The 1874 date aligns with the height of German wildlife and hunting‑scene painting, a genre widely collected by the rising middle class of the period.
