Wachtel invites the viewer to follow a winding trail or creek bed flanked by grasses, boulders, and elegant trees with white trunks as rolling foothills and majestic mountains rise in the distance. A striking California Impressionist landscape painting by Leonard Wachtel mounted in a custom giltwood frame. Please note: The gilding has been tested via x-ray flourescence and contains 67% gold.

Famous artists of the Wachtel family included Elmer Wachtel (1864-1929) and Marion Kavanagh Wachtel (1873-1954). In addition to being a masterful California Impressionist known for his plein-air landscapes boasting remarkable renderings of natural light and atmospheric effects, Elmer Wachtel was also a violinist for the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles as well as brother-in-law to California Impressionist Guy Rose's sister. Marion Wachtel was a plein air painter who worked in both oils and watercolors. She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago as well as with William Merritt Chase in New York. Eventually, Marion Wachtel moved to California to study with William Keith as well as Elmer Wachtel who would become her husband in 1904.
Provenance: private Los Angeles, California, USA collection, acquired by descent from Marilyn Zerfas who was gifted this painting by former husband John Wachtel
