Estimate value

Christine Engels (Leipzig School) - "Success - Training Break", oil/mixed media on canvas
Three successful GDR swimmers on a break from training, standing on the roof terrace of the north wing of the Leipzig swimming stadium, the Leipzig Central Stadium in the background. According to the enclosed note, they are prominent members of the SC DHfK, such as Elke Sehmisch and Gabriele Wetzko, members of the GDR national swimming team. They won the silver medal in the 4 x 100 metre freestyle relay at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, for example.
C. Engels plays with the motif of the three graces in a masterly way in her depiction of these champion swimmers. However, we are not looking into idealised faces here. The subjects are depicted in a highly realistic style with exhausted features: they are simply hard working swimmers on a break from training.
Expressive painting in the neo-objective style of the Leipzig School. Signed and dated 1976 at the bottom right. Dimensions 93 x 146 cm, framed 109 x 169 cm.

Condition: II
Christine Engels (Leipziger Schule) - "Erfolg - Trainingspause", Öl/Mischtechnik auf Leinwand
Drei stehende DDR-Erfolgsschwimmerinnen während einer Trainingspause auf der Dachterrasse des Nordflügels des Schwimmstadions Leipzig, im Hintergrund das Leipziger Zentralstadion. Laut beiliegendem Zettel sind prominente Mitglieder des SC DHfK dargestellt, so die Sportlerinnen der DDR-Schwimm-Nationalmannschaft Elke Sehmisch und Gabriele Wetzko. Unter anderem gewannen sie bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen 1972 in München mit der 4x100-Meter-Freistilstaffel die Silbermedaille.
C. Engels spielt bei der Darstellung dieser Erfolgsschwimmerinnen in meisterlicher Weise mit dem Motiv der drei Grazien. Allerdings treten uns hier nicht idealisierte Gesichter entgegen, sondern die Dargestellten sind in höchst realistischer Weise mit erschöpften Zügen dargestellt: eben hart trainierende Schwimmerinnen in einer Trainingspause.
Ausdrucksstarkes Gemälde im neusachlichen Stil der Leipziger Schule. Rechts unten signiert und datiert 1976. Bildmaße 93 x 146 cm, Maße gerahmt 109 x 169 cm.
