Oil pastel on board, signed and dated at lower left "R. Ausleger '28," tabletop still life with guitar, presented in an attractive contemporary gilt frame under glass.

SS 19 x 24 in.; DOA 25.75 x 30 in.

This painting was completed not long after Ausleger joined ranks with the "Novembergruppe" and adopted a Synthetic Cubist syle. As he was labeled a "degenerate" painter by the Nazis, many of his works were destroyed before and during WWII.
