Catalogue Note

Anmerkung aus dem Werkkatalog: Wegen angeblicher fehlender Einheit liess der frühere Besitzer das Bild in zwei Teile schneiden. Später wurden die zwei Bildhälften auf Veranlassung des Sohnes des ersten Besitzers durch den Maler Karl Landolt wieder aneinandergefügt.

Das vorliegende Frühwerk von Adolf Dietrich präsentiert sich nach einer aufwendigen Restaurierung wieder in seiner ursprünglichen Schönheit.
