“Amos, d’you remember that young lad we both took a fancy to all them years ago? I saw ‘im the other day when I was clearin’ out the rope locker. Must’ve been twenty or thirty year ago he went missin’.”
Modestly enlarged image can be found here, or at the only work by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.Two Fishermen beside a Boat is shown by its current-location page (click English at top to see that translation, has a larger image).It is one of 21 paintings by him (has link to his wife, Anna — Google translated German Wikipedia page has more about her) in its database. Both, along with their daughter, are in a painting featured in an earlier strip.This click-to-enlarge b&w image, of a page in a German book, shows his dated signature more clearly (for me anyway, partial color-blindness makes it hard to see burnt-orange? in an olive? background). His Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).
