Gerta Schlauch

This oil on cardboard painting, created around 1880 by German artist Gerta Schlauch, captures a genre scene of a priest scolding two children for stealing apples. Despite our efforts, we were unable to obtain any biographical information about the artist. The piece is signed in the lower right corner and has been well-maintained, with signs of loss of the pictorial layer fully consolidated in a probably recent restoration. It is framed in a gilt wooden frame from the late 20th century.
