PROPERTY FROM A DISTINGUISHED PRIVATE AUSTRIAN COLLECTOR (LOTS 79, 80 & 81)
No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 15% will be added to the buyer's premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.
Sold with a copy of a certificate from Dr. Christina Pucher, dated September 1994, in which she suggests that the handling of the paint, physiognomy of the figures and details eg. the rug, are all typical of Platzer. She suggests that the signature has been strengthened at a later date.
