NIKOLAOS GYSIS (Greek, 1842-1901) Iphegenie initialed 'N.G.' (lower right); with a fragmentary wax seal (on the reverse); titled on a typed label (affixed to the reverse) oil on panel 17.3 x 13.3 cm (6 13/16 x 5 1/4 in). framed 18.0 x 14.0 x 2.5 cm (7 1/16 x 5 1/2 x 1 in). Footnotes: Provenance With the artist's family. The collection of Ernst Hoffman, New York (by descent from the previous). A private New York collection (acquired from the previous, 2004). N.B. The present work depicts Iphegenie (Iphigeneia), Nikolaos Gysis's fourth child. Iphegenie and her siblings inherited her father's paintings upon the death of her parents; in April 1944, however, all except one of Iphegenie's pictures - a portrait of the eldest daughter, Penelope - were destroyed when her Munich home was bombed. Iphegenie later moved to her sister Margarita's home in Munich, but this too was bombed in January 1945, and numerous other paintings were lost. Only the works owned by Penelope and Telemachos - Nikolaos's second child and fifth child - were saved after they were stowed away in a storage room in Bavaria in 1943. In 1954, the surviving paintings were returned to the siblings' home in Munich. By the late 20th century, the only remaining members of the family were Ewald Petritschek and Ernst Hoffman - Penelope's and Iphegenie's sons, respectively. The present work was the most cherished work in the collection of Ernst Hoffmann. We would like to thank Dr. Kostas Didaskalou for his kind assistance cataloging and authenticating this lot.
