PAIR OF MALE PORTRAITS

Portrait of a Boy: tempera on cardboard, 50.5×35 cm (61×45 cm). Signed and dated lower right "PEZELEN 1924". Framed. Portrait of a Man in a Hat: tempera on cardboard, 40×32 cm – passe-partout cut (63×56.5 cm). Passe-partout, frame, glass. It is probable that the marking at the bottom of the painting is later and comes from the hand of the artist’s friend Marie Hoppe Teinitzerová from Jindřichův Hradec, from where the work originally comes. Condition B. From the estate of a Brno physician who became acquainted with Marie Hoppe Teinitzerová and through her also with Tina Pezellen. The entire set of works by this artist offered at auction comes from the same estate.
