Address auction house

The Liechtenstein based auction house Militaria 321.com offered again an alleged Hitler watercolor. This time the start price was €1. After 25 bids the work was sold on June 18, 2021 for €811.01.

Dimensions: 10 x 13 cm.

It is a depiction of "Schottentor" in Vienna. The seller - "Jogro" from Germany, claimed that this work was since 1911 in the possession of an unnamed family. It was bought by somebody who identified himself as "k****r". The buyer must be a complete idiot, as the low start price and the absence of any checkable provenance are clear signs that this work is a fake work. It is not even a forgery, as it isn't a copy of any believed to be authentic Hitler "watercolors".
