Nuremberg’s Weidler auction house says the painting was one of some 2,000 painted by Adolf Hitler and is thought to be from about 1914, when he was struggling to make a living as an artist, almost two decades before rising to power as the Nazi dictator.
It’s being sold by a pair of elderly sisters, whose grandfather purchased the painting in 1916.
Auction house director Kathrin Weidler says it’s drawn interest from around the world, with most viewing it as a curiosity or as an investment. The starting price on Saturday is 4,500 euros.
