Description
Signature lower left "Erler", on the reverse of the painting is a label of the Berlin Secession from 1904. In the catalogue of 1904 Erler's painting "Der Fechter" is listed under number 52. This motif was subsequently painted over with "Pierrot", hanging label on the reverse: "Erler - 'Pierrot' - von Akademie d. Künste - überwiesen 15.11.51", presumably original frame created by the artist.
