Brahmshaus in Rüschlikon 1928

"Brahmshaus in Rüschlikon" is an oil painting completed in 1928 by Swiss artist Helen Dahm. The painting depicts a single-story building with a dark roof and a pale green facade, bathed in the light of a starry night. Dahm’s use of color evokes a sense of quietude, with the dark, shadowy foreground contrasting with the luminous sky above. The composition of the artwork is simple yet evocative, with the building occupying the central portion of the canvas. The painting is an example of Dahm's style, often characterized by simplified forms and an emphasis on light and atmosphere. The painting’s subject matter, the Brahmshaus, is a testament to the artist’s interest in depicting the everyday scenes of her surroundings.
