Herbert Grass (1886-1978): Zwei Akte im Tulpenfeld (Two Nudes in a Tulip Field)

*
Henry's Auktionshaus, GmbH, Mutterstadt, DE has recently listed this beautiful nude study in their current auction catalog. The original illustration on line showed some damage to the paint, with scratches and missing paint, so I did a scratch removal and cleaned it up, somewhat back to its original look. Herbert Grass (1886-1978) was a painter and graphic artist who studied at the Akademie of Fine Arts in Leipzig at the turn of the last century.
