Address auction house

Dimensions: about 22,5 x 15,5 cm in a passepartout of 28,5 x 20 cm.

Description by seller: "The watercolor originates from a legacy. It was since 1910 in family possession. (...) Slight traces of abrasion. Depicted is the Charles church in Vienna."

"Das Aquarell stammt aus einem Nachlass und war seit 1910 in Familienbesitz. (...) Leichte Abriebspuren. Dargestellt ist die Karlskirche in Wien."

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 forgery.

The seller, "jogro", sold via this same auction house more fake Hitlers:
June 2021 - see Another Liechtenstein "Hitler".
July 2021 - see A "Hitler from Bonn".
