Specialist note

The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Cornelia Cabuk, Belvedere Museum, and will be included in the forthcoming Carl Moll catalogue raisonné.
Carl Moll was a founding member of the Viennese Secession and one of the most important and most influential personalities in Viennese art life around 1900. Mainly a painter of landscapes, he took inspiration from the French Neo-Impressionists, often rendering bright open spaces with fresh, airy brushstrokes, as is the case for Der Hamburger Hafen.
