Josef Wenzel Süss, Austrian 1857-1937- Portrait of a seated girl, resting her head on her hand, holding a tambourine; oil on canvas, signed 'Jos Süss' (upper left), 68.5 x 56 cm. Provenance: Property from a European Private Collection. Note: The present work is typical of Süss's output, depicting a figure in what appears to be regional dress, adorned with gold jewellery, in an idyllic landscape illuminated by a soft, golden glow. The present sitter bears a strong resemblance to those in a number of other paintings by Süss, including a portrait of 'A Florist' which sold at Zezula Auction House in the Czech Republic on 8 June 2020 for £2,013.
