(1867 Neumarkt/Silesia – 1945 Berlin) Changeable sailors with two cargo tugboats. Impressionistic, typical for the motif and style of Sandrock’s harbor themes, who participated annually in the Great Berlin Art Exhibitions since 1898. The well-known art critic Max Osborn in 1912 praised Sandrock as “one of the strongest and most promising talents of the Berlin painters’ guild” and commended his impetuous style.
