Pfingsttag 62 Ca Rondine. 1962.
Egg and oil tempera and sheet gold on primed canvas.

• Particularly large and balanced composition in fine colors.
• Exhibited in New York as early as in 1963.
• Part of the same German private collection for almost 30 years.
• Symbiosis of delicate wash and strong pigment, matte, translucid color mist and noble brilliance.
