Jenny (Johanna) Fischer
(Vienna 1820–1888)
Two Sisters with a Basket of Grapes, signed, dated (incised) Jenny 29/1 1841, oil on canvas, 62.5 x 76.5 cm, framed
Compare:
Exhibition catalogue “Ein Blumenstrauß für Waldmüller. Stilleben Ferdinand Georg Waldmüllers und seiner Zeit”, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna, 10 March - 31 May 1993, p. 132 (Still Life with Fruit, 1842).
The characteristics of Jenny Fischer’s style suggest that she may have received private tuition from Friedrich Georg Waldmüller, since women were denied access to the Academy. Indeed, both the painting technique and approach to composition in her bouquets of flowers are strongly reminiscent of Waldmüller. Fischer exhibited regularly at the Academy in St. Anna from 1840 onwards. The pieces she created were mostly bouquets of flowers or fruit still lifes. Both the accuracy and pictorial treatment of the surface display the characteristics of an academic training.
