Unknown artist

After her marriage to Prussian Lieutenant General Benno Hann von Weyhern in Berlin’s Tiergarten (Von-der-Heydt-Straße 8), the “Gutsherrntochter Adelaide von Kahle” lived in Bellin.

The leaves were probably glued by her to cardboard, labeled and displayed at exhibitions. Since they found themselves in the estate, the sale does not have to have been successful if it was intended.

They were born between the age of forty and fifty. The back with adhesive remnants of old framing. From the property Adelaide Hann von Weyhern, Berlin, acquired for the Märkische Museum.
