Benjamin Wolff (b. Danmark 1790, d. s.p. 1866)
Purchased by The National Museum in Copenhagen, November 2016
Studies of occupations and castes. “Camping in the woods” and “Tadge Mahal, Agra”. Studies of occupations and castes. Mainly watercolour on European paper. Several signed on mount. 26×19 cm. - 49×39 cm. (34)
Works on paper bearing Benjamin Wolff’s signature are traditionally attributed to him. Autograph watercolours by Benjamin Wolff are few in number. The copied map of Amrawatty, the set depicting castes and occupations as well as the portraits of nationalities resemble the naïve charm of the sketchbook studies of inhabitans. The picturesque view of “Tadg Mahal, Agra” however, as well as the charming “Camping in the woods” differ stylistically from Wolff’s autograph watercolours and it may be plausible that this is the inscription of the collector in spe and not the signature of the artist.
