SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Carl Haag (Erlangen, 1820–Oberwesel, 1915) first trained in porcelain painting and at the Nuremberg art school. After beginning as a portraitist, he found a lasting direction in English watercolour painting. He lived for many years in London, joined the Royal Watercolour Society and travelled in Europe and the Middle East.
Invited to Balmoral, he depicted court life and Scottish landscapes. His scene of salmon fishing in the River Dee records an outing on 9 September 1853. In der Wüste, made in January 1859 and held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, instead shows the remains of a camel in a desert landscape. The elongated sheet is worked in watercolour over graphite on cream wove paper.
