- A sceptical look, a hodgepodge of objects, gaudy colors: Xenia Hausner shows an intriguing glimpse into her protagonist's everyday life. - The title "Petit Nobel" refers to the Danish cigarillos in the middle of the table, or perhaps to an unrecognized genius sitting opposite us? - In 1997 shown in a solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Wien and the Museum der bildenden Künste, Leipzig. - The artist is acknowledged as one of the most important contemporary figurative painters; her works are regularly shown in major group and solo exhibitions.

Galerie Thomas, Munich. Private collection Hesse (acquired from the above in 1996)

In good condition. Isolated, very small color breaks as well as small, unobtrusive color chips at the edges of the image. Overpainting visible in places under UV in the light blue of the background, probably inherent in the work. The frame slightly cracked at the joints and with small color losses and isolated tears in the corners. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the help of an ultraviolet light and to the best of knowledge.
