Adolf Lins
(Kassel 1856–1927 Düsseldorf)
A summer day, geese by a pond, signed, dated Ad. Lins (19)05,
oil on canvas, 129 x 190 cm, framed, (Rei)
Provenance:
Private Collection Germany.
Adolf Lins studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kassel and in 1874 on the advice of his teacher for the first time sojourned for study purposes in Willingshausen in Schwalm. His friendship with Dusseldorf artists such as Heinrich Sondermann, Hugo Mühlig and Hans Richard von Volkmann prompted Lins to move to Dusseldorf in 1877. There he settled down in the house of the carpenter and art transporter G. Paffrath and worked with Ferdinand Brütt. Drawings and studies resulted from numerous further stays in Willingshausen and after 1908 in nearby Röllshausen, but also on the Lower Rhine. Lins exhibited his children’s scenes as well as the numerous village views and landscapes filled with staffage figures from 1877 mainly in Berlin, Dresden, Dusseldorf, Munich and Vienna. From the 1880s, he preferred to paint creeks and pastures populated with cows and sheep, but especially chickens, ducks and geese, which earned him the nickname ‘Goose Lins’ (‘Gänse-Lins’).
