For now, just to look at
The photograph we have of this work is not sharp enough to print at the quality we want, so we are not selling it for now. We are looking for a better one.

What the museum label doesn't tell you
The painting was lost forever in 1945 when the truck transporting it out of Dresden was bombed, although historians still debate whether it was actually part of that convoy or met a different fate.
