The current highest auction record for a painting by Kerkovius is more than €60,000 The present work by Ida Kerkovius (1879-1970) is a draft of the left panel of her oil painting 'Triptychon', dated 1965. On the left, there is a portrait of a blond-haired, pale pink kneeling woman with a big eye, which is approached by a feline 'demon' from the right. The mostly large-scale figure paintings occupy the smallest part in the artist's oeuvre and are therefore very impressive. The critic Kurt Leonhard has described the 'Triptychon' as outstanding and ascribed it a religious significance as well as the quintessence of Kerkovius' artistic creation. The work is all round matted and mounted in a partly gilt wooden frame. It is in good condition with light sign of wear. The frame shows some losses. The sheet dimensions are 102.5 x 71.5 cm, and the frame measures 131 x 100 cm.
