Lot Essay

Prof. Josef Schütz has confirmed the authenticity of this work.

In 1952, Eisenschitz discovered what was then the still, unspoiled, rural island of Ibiza and spent time there every year thereafter with his wife, resulting in paintings of rich colour and light such as the present composition.
