Specialist note
Ralph Jentsch has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
As Ralph Jentsch has explained, “The guy in this work, his face and nose turned crimson from years of drinking, resembles the prototype of the German bourgeois. Sitting there with a glass of wine in his hand and smoking a cigar seems to be all he needs to be happy and content…It was mainly these representatives of the Weimar republic, right wing nationalists, who supported Hitler and helped him a few years later to take power through an official election.”
