Stillleben mit Madonnenfigürchen. 1953.
Gouache.
Lower left dated and inscribed with work number "B. 91/53 15.V." and the artist's signet. Verso with teh etsate stamp. With stamped number "9/47" on a small label on the backing board. On thin laid paper, firmly mounted on backing board. 31.8 x 24.3 cm (12.5 x 9.5 in) , size of sheet.
A painting with the same title and made around the same time, is considered the last great accomplishment of the folk art period, in which Gabriele Münter, all in line with the spirit of the "Blaue Reiter" created several gaudy still lives with Madonna figures and flower arrangements. This gouache was executed right before the oil painting and shows the same harmonious composition and the recurring colors. Münter altered just a few details for the painting, she added, for insance a tall sphere-shaped crown to the third Madonna. [CH].
PROVENANCE: Karl & Faber, 165th auction, June 6, 1984, lot 1135 (wit illu. on plate 137).
