• His Expressionist works were branded as “degenerate” during the Nazi era.
• In the family’s possession for over 40 years.
• Offered on the international auction market for the first time (source: artprice.com).

We are grateful to Mr. Florian Viegener for kindly providing additional information.

EXHIBITION: Eberhard Viegener, Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, Nov. 20, 1965–Jan. 9, 1966; Wilhelm-Morgner-Haus, Soest, Jan. 29–Feb. 27, 1966, cat. no. 13 (with color ill.).

Overall, the painting is in good condition. The canvas is slightly wavy. There is overall craquelure and some flaking. The edges of the image show slight wear. Overall, there are professionally executed retouches, particularly in the area of the roof and the tree trunks on the left. This condition report was prepared to the best of my knowledge and belief, in daylight and with the aid of a UV light source.
