Lot Essay

The authenticity of this work has kindly been confirmed by Dr. Sybille-Karin Moser, who suggests that the view may be of Syracuse, Sicily. Although this painting has also been known as Vue d'Orient, and the picture has suggestions of a North African view, Unterberger is not known to have travelled to that region.
