Adolf Lins
*“Geese on a Country Lane” (“Single File”), 1920*

Adolf Lins (1856–1927) was a distinguished German painter whose rural landscapes are considered classics of the Düsseldorf School. Among contemporaries and art lovers, he was affectionately known as “Goose Lins,” since domestic birds—especially geese and ducks—became a defining feature of his animal paintings.
