Answer 1

Hi! I found this:

Item: Oil on Canvas by Waldeck
Reference#:3587
Status: Sold (price not displayed)
This is an oil on canvas of a mountain background with incredibly well done stormy skies, exquisite detail of cabin by the lake. Muted color palate. Beautifully framed. Viewable size is 39"x19" and overall size is 25.5"x45". This picture contains the original certificate indicating it was painted and signed by the artist and sold through Josef Mensing International Art Gallery, Germany. Also contains original sales receipt from purchase in 1983.

If there was more to be found on your artist... I did not find it. There is, however, a gallery by the name: Galerie Mensing: http://www.galerie-mensing.de/... which seems to have an affiliate, I'm assuming, since it goes by the name: Joseph Mensing Museum: Hamm-Rhynern, Germany which seems to be the agent of KunstKopie that sell reproductions from the Mensing Museum with the name of Bridgeman Art Library... whew! That being said... this organization seems highly substantial and most operational. I would contact them for further assistance by using the contact information in their site listed above or call Sotheby's or Christies. I wish you good luck!
