Wintersonne im Bayrischen Wald. 1929.
Pastel, partly scratched.
Lower left signed and dated "1927" at a later point. Verso signed and inscribed "Sonnenuntergang". On firm creme paper. 67 x 82,2 cm (26,3 x 32,3 in), the full sheet.
Latest research has shown that Albert Birkle did not visit the Bavarian Forest before 1929. The artist signed and dated some of his works at a later point, which is why the time of origin of some works is confusing, just as it is the case with this work.

We are grateful to Roswita and Victor Pontzen, archive Albert Birkle, Salzburg, for their kind support in cataloging this lot.

PROVENANCE: Private collection Austria.
