Bacchanalian scene. Grape-crowned Silenus with a prankish smile offering a basket full of grapes and fruit to bare-bosomed Venus, who, Amor's arrow in hand, looks puzzled, but smiling at admonishing Amor, who, with index finger raised, holds a torch in the other hand. The torch light gives this painting the intense light effects, leaving all except this intimite bacchantalian scene in the dark, from which the vibrant and the subdued colors glow with flashy intensity. The oil painting on canvas is by an anonymous artist. Time of painting: Ca. 1850/60. The stretcher frame is the original one. The black color of the extreme left corner has been redone. Otherwise the painting has exactly the kind of patina one wishes for, including the desirable craquelure. The gold-colored frame is 20th century.

Schmid belonged to the avangarde in the field of New Objectivity (Neue Sac hlichkeit). He lived in Berlin from 1917 - 1938. When his work was judges as Degenerate Art by the Nazis, he left Germany and returned to Switzerland. His art work was incorporated in the stream of Magic Realism. Some 40 of his paintings belong to prestigious Swiss Federal Art Collection (Bundeskunstsammlung - BKS). During the Nazi Regime all of Schmid's work in German museums was destroyed. When he left his home in Potsdam, Germany in a rush, he left his art work behind. All of that is considered missing. His later work was bought by private collectors, by the Museo Wilhelm Schmid in Bré sopra Lugano, in “Argauer Kunsthaus Aarau" and in the Swiss “Bundeskunstsammlung" (BKS) Bern, Switzerland. Just recently the BKS organized an exhibition of Wilhelm Schmid's work in its possession at the Schweizerische Nationalbibliothek in Bern (May 15 - August 2, 2008).
