Blue vase with flowers on a white background. Painted around 1912, the painting is unusual for late dictator. Living in Vienna Hitler painted a lot, but mostly landscapes and urban architecture.

The image gallery is marked Samuel Morgenstern. Issuing Nate D. Sanders watercolor stresses that, paradoxically, the Vienna Jewish gallery owner was one of those who appreciated the artistic talent of the future originator of the Holocaust. There is a collection Morgenstern defended against a subsequent confiscation by the Nazis. He was deported and died in the ghetto in Lodz in 1943.

Visuals Hitler also can trade in Germany, as long as there is no Nazi symbols on them. In November watercolor building in Munich went for 130,000 euros.
