Provenienz
Nachlass Otto Modersohn; Galerie Rosenbach, Hannover (1980); Schloß Ricklingen, Garbsen (52. Auktion 17.9.1988, Los 1057); seitdem Privatbesitz Rheinland
In raschem Pinselduktus und mit dünn aufgetragener Farbe läßt Otto Modersohn hier eine bezaubernde sommerliche Szenerie entstehen. Dargestellt ist laut Rainer Noeres das direkt an der Wümme gelegene Backhaus von Hoops Hof in Fischerhude. Das kleine Dorf bei Worpswede war nach dem Tod von Paula Modersohn-Becker 1907 zu Modersohns neuer Heimat geworden. Hier sollte er - unterbrochen von ausgedehnten Reisen - bis zu seinem Lebensende wohnen.
Seinen besonderen Reiz entfaltet das angebotene hochformatige Gemälde vor allem durch die Spiegelungseffekte des Wassers, die die leuchtenden Farben des blauen Himmels, der grünen Vegetation und der Dachlandschaft des Backhauses gleichsam potenzieren. Für spannungsvolle Akzente innerhalb dieser Idylle sorgen nicht nur die roten Dächer, sondern auch die an einem Baum angelehnten, sich keilförmig im Fluß spiegelnden Holzbretter sowie ein dunkler Kahn im Vordergrund. Dieser ragt vom unteren Rand steil in das Bild hinein und lockt den Betrachter unwiderstehlich wie zu einer Bootspartie.

Provenance
Estate Otto Modersohn; Galerie Rosenbach, Hannover (1980); Schloß Ricklingen, Garbsen (52th auction 17 Sept. 1988, lot 1057); Private possession since, Rhineland
With a rapid brushstroke and thinly applied paint, Otto Modersohn has created an enchanting summer scene here. According to Rainer Noeres the work depicts the Hoops farmstead's bakehouse, which was located directly next to the Wümme river, in Fischerhude. This little village near Worpswede became Modersohn's new home after the death of Paula Modersohn-Becker in 1907. He would live there - with the exception of his extended travels - until the end of his life.
This painting in a vertical format develops its distinctive appeal primarily through the depicted reflections in the water, which simultaneously intensify the luminous colours of the blue sky, the green vegetation and the topography of the bakehouse's roof. This idyll is provided with captivating accents not only through the red roofs but also through the wooden planks, which lean against a tree and produce a wedge-shaped reflection in the water, and the dark punt in the foreground. The latter extends sharply into the image from its lower edge and irresistibly draws in the viewer, as though for an outing by boat.
