This early 20th-century Continental School watercolour presents a charming Munich street scene titled verso 'Markttag direkt an der Marienplatz'. Adding to its allure, the manuscript inscription verso reads 'Eine ruhige Eike des alten Münchens'. The piece is signed with the initials A.H. in the lower left corner and remains unframed but comes in a later mount, measuring 28.5 x 20cm.
The artwork holds a fascinating historical connection, as it bears striking similarities to the style of the young Adolf Hitler during his time in Munich before World War I. Notably, Adolf Hitler painted various scenes of the Marienplatz during this period, all bearing his initials and sharing a similar size and palette. To enhance the provenance of this piece, it is being sold with photocopies of comparable paintings.
