Catalogue Note

This is a characteristic work in which Menzel studies with care a figure in full and in detail, and presents the results in a pleasing composition on the page.

The attribution to Menzel has been confirmed to the current owner by Dr. M. Riemann-Reyher who has written a monograph on the artist.
