SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
A German painter active in the 19th century, Karl Georg Naumann—also known as Carl Georg—is associated above all, according to a lot description, with lively genre scenes, which he frequently exhibited from 1854 onwards. Trained at the Königsberg Academy, he settled in Munich in 1851. In 1874, he is said to have presented at the Dresden Academy the painting described by the source, or a work with an identical subject.
The titles of several works help situate this body of work: Der entflogene Kanarienvogel is described as an oil on canvas, of which only traces of the signature and a possible date survive; Sonntagsjäger is an unsigned oil on wood, bearing an inscription and its title on the reverse, and measuring 26 × 20.5 cm. Entflohener Liebling, given as the original title of a genre scene, measures 46.5 × 32.5 cm. A reference entry records works in collections in Rostock and Zurich, without specifying the institutions, and refers to the reference works by Thieme-Becker and Boetticher.
