Whereabouts not known
Provenance: 1934 traded with Herrn Albert Wilke, Waldhotel West-Deep, against goods in kind
TLF: "Painted on plywood panel for the Wald Hotel in West Deep placed over the Hotel bar, traded against free beer and schnaps all summer. (painted in Deep)" [201]

TLF:" In the evenings [during the summer holidays 1934 in Deep] I sometimes went for a Köhm (German gin) and beer at the nearby "Waldhotel"; I found the proprietor congenial and anything but a Nazi; I painted for him, on a huge sheet of plywood... For the “grelleren” (more screaming) colors (as he expressed it) I went to my father, who was painting this year in Deep, the only year he [had ever brought his painting outfit]. This was due to the temporary homelessness of my folks, and thus Albert Wilke’s upper-storey best apartment was the birthplace of Lyonel Feininger’s immortal Red Fiddler." [205, the Waldhotel-paining is untraceable]
