The second label reads something like "... kastely", lower "szoba" - most likely, in Czech, and maybe Polish. "The Castle" in Polish seems to be so and will zamek? or vice versa? Here in German and in English I can, and in Czech or Polish - no. But the Czech Republic or Poland - it is not surprising: up to 1918 in the Austro-Hungary, and Czechoslovakia was part of, and part of Polish territory. A lock Counts Esterhazy was much, Eisenstadt is just their main residence. Probably in one of these locks was this picture before (judging by the state labels), as a hit in Eisenstadt. However, I think this information is little to add to the already known. However, the artist may well be a Czech or a Pole. There are some inscriptions in pencil on the stretcher, but they are unreadable, and, perhaps, there is the name of the artist.
Seen until the next. Hung his picture in the Esterhazy castle in 1945 on the second floor (I Stock is in our second floor) in room number 50 and had the inventory number 2074. I think she's one of the main congregation, not from the exhibition, because in 1945 the advancing Red Army - and not in Austria or in Germany was not to show. Vienna took our, some part of the Eisenstadt and took the castle. The picture clearly served as a war trophy to one of our soldiers or junior officers. It has small size, is placed in the knapsack. That such a provenance turns out ... Send e-mail in Eisenstadt, of course it makes sense, knowing the inventory number of the picture. Restitution ... Well I do not know, it's a trophy is not "public". Maybe not a trophy, and any employee of the castle now sold to someone from our? who knows. Send e-mail can not be worse, but the answer it? It would be better to go there with photographs of paintings and labels.
