PROVENANCE: Private collection southern Germany (acquired from the Galerie Lucas Aclioros, Munich in 1963).

Barely a year after his return from the war, Franz Heckendorf made this calm and ingeniously lit painting. In terms of itzs colors it is an approach to Expressionism, the line management adds to its independent character. [GD].
