Once again, so far, this isn’t among the list of works, by this artist, in Mr. Melcher’s blog. Again, it is a cropped image (no damage at lower right). A framed, click-to-enlarge image (includes the damage) can be found here.The Former (link explains who they were) is, as far as I can tell, privately owned.According to this, many of the artist’s anti-Soviet paintings were kept locked away for decades.Its embedded video says this (shown at the 2:16 mark) was smuggled out; but, I’m not sure that it is one of the 10 watercolor paintings, sold in 1953.The damage shown by the earlier framed image doesn’t seem consistent with a canvas painting, to me anyway. My guess is cardboard; but, I’m certainly no expert. Also, it might be watercolor instead of oil.It is among his (currently) 12 works, shown here (Bing translated); 9 of which, including this, have titles which are simply “VL” followed by a number (this one is VL2).So, I immediately think that might imply a connection to the 10 watercolors sold in 1953 (i.e., it perhaps shows 9 of the 10); but, I have nothing to confirm that. The artist’s Google translated Russian Wikipedia page and collection.Second work, by this artist, to appear here.
