Oil on canvas, 1889, indistinctly signed with initials and dated lower right, with label from Kunsthalle Basel, Ausstellung Gauguin 1928.
21 x 25 in., 29 1/2 x 33 3/4 in. (frame).
Note: This work has been recently reviewed by the Gauguin Committee at the Platner Wildenstein Institute. Their opinion is that the work is not by the hand of Paul Gauguin. The exhibition label on the frame of this work is from a 1928 Gauguin exhibit at the Kunsthalle Basel. The label indicates an exhibition number '60' and the lender's name 'Dr. Gustave Schweitzer.' The details of this painting do not match with the Kunsthalle Basel's exhibition catalogue entry. Dr. Schweitzer was a German private dealer who is recorded as having sold Gauguin paintings prior to the outbreak of WWII and did lend one of the Gauguin paintings in the exhibition catalogue, number 6, a portrait of a man from 1880. Dr. Schweitzer was deported to a concentration camp around 1940 and the records of his art dealings no longer exist. The authorship and provenance of this painting remain a mystery.
