I too have fond memories of studying a print of this painting at my Grandmother's house. Hers was a large print which hung over the staircase. Recently I came across a small copy of it on the "freebee" table at a thrift store and happily took it to share with my sisters. To my dismay, neither of them remembers it, instead recalling a copy of "The Reapers" which also hung at Grandmother's. If you would like to have this miniature "On the Banks..." , I'd be happy to let you have it for shipping costs. I'll check often for a response... JLR

I'd love to have it if you're willing to part with it, very generous offer!

thanks again!

Did your family hold onto your grandmother's print?
I bet it's the same big print we had.

I, too recently found this print in my mother's basement. I am interested as to why she might have this print and it's history. She passed away in 2000, so I will ask some older siblings.

Wow, you captured the image near perfectly. I was excited to see that others have been searching for an id on this one. Any new developments on value?

I too have a copy of this print, same size and frame. I am 46 years old and have been looking at this painting since before I could speak. My print was given to me by my Mother. It was given to my parents by my father's parents. My Grandfather was German and I believe he brought this print with him when he came to the U.S. Thank you for your part in helping me learn the title of this painting. kimihuttar@yahoo.com

I bought a large lithograph of this painting at a flea market a few months ago.
It is faded from light exposure and bad matting, but I loved it and am having a new mat cut for it. Thank you for identifying it!
