New York, Germany,1881-1943
Depicts a river winding through an open field with sparse trees covered in yellow autumnal leaves. Koeniger studied under Eugene Gustav Ducker and Eduard Karl Franz Gebhardt at the Düsseldorf Academy. Where as Ducker's work was more crisp and more along the lines of photo realism, Koeniger turned to a more free painterly approach. Known for his views of the Catskill Mountains and wooded areas around Woodstock and Saugertie, he exhibited at the National Academy of Design and was a member of the Salmagundi Club.
