FRITZ WAGNER

GERMAN, 1896-1939

Gentlemen Merrymaking

oil on canvas

signed

27.75. x 31.5 in, 70.5 x 80 cm

This work is in excellent original condition. The pigments are vibrant and stable; the support is original and unchanged. There is no indication of restoration under UV light inspection, however, it would benefit from a light surface cleaning. The frame appears to be original and is in reasonably good condition, however as with any older frames, there will be some restoration required.
