Die Weltumsegler. 1920/30er Jahre.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and inscribed 'Mch' (Munich) lower right. 80 : 100 cm (31,4 : 39,3 in). Being taught by Karl Roth and Robert Seitz in Munich, Fritz Wagner mainly worked as a genre painter and was close to the Munich painter Max Gaisser in his depiction of Dutch interiors. The group of sailors or merchants, assembled around a table and immersed in a discussion, has also been a favoured subject in his work. [RS]

Overall with minor surface dirt. Margins partly minimally rubbed, border areas with a few tiny colour flakings and scratch marks respectively. Canvas with minor ripples on the corners due the the stretching. Isolated barely noticeable craquelé.
