It is estimated to fetch €100,000–150,000 at the auction this fall. The piece had been on display in Vienna’s Albertina museum until research conducted by the Austrian government’s Art Restitution Advisory Board determined that Adele Pächter “was forced to sell works” during the time of National Socialism in Germany.
