description:

Trübner, Wilhelm

Girl with Red Drapery

 

Signed lower left. Inter alia inscribed "W. Trübner" (in own hand) in blue chalk on the stretcher. Oil on canvas. 62 x 50.5 cm. Damage to frame. In Klaus Rohrandts opinion the sitter resembles Trübners painting student Ulla Marx. The present portrait is a typical portrait from the artists mature period. The first impression of a certain rigidity of expression is counterbalanced by the deliberate emphasis on the eyes, mouth and hair, whose significance as ""erogenous zones"", thus a symbol of the instinctive, is decisively emphasized by Klaus Rohrandt in his expert opinion.
