CARL KUNSTBAZAR NURNBERG. 1912.
28x37 1/2 inches. Reichhold & Lang, Munich.
Condition A-: faint vertical folds; minor restoration and overpainting in margins.
Amidst snow-covered pine trees a skier is bending down to adjust his bindings before he sets off down the mountain. Kunst's most common poster is a variation on this theme, featuring just a pair of skis with poles planted in the snow beside them, this image is not only rarer but more complex artistically.
