Gert Heinrich Wollheim Tatjana Barbakoff Circa 1929 Oil on canvas, relined. 99 x 71 cm. Framed. Signed 'Wollheim' in ochre lower left. - Very good condition. Isolated small retouches, partly with faint craquelure. Not recorded by Euler-Schmidt/Osterhof With an expert report from Michael Euler-Schmidt, Frechen, dated 3 May 2026 The painting, which was probably created during Wollheim’s time in Berlin, depicts his long-term partner, the expressive dancer Cilly Waldmann, alias Tatjana Barbakoff (1900–1943). The two are thought to have met in 1923 through the Düsseldorf gallery owner Johanna Ey; in the years that followed, he captured her likeness in numerous drawings and paintings. She followed him into exile in France in the 1930s, but was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 and murdered in Auschwitz that same year.
