Depicting farms and landscapes, with no political symbolism, the two paintings – created the year Hitler turned 25, and 20 years before he became the leader of Germany – each had a starting price of €3,500.
Last Thursday, 13 watercolours by Hitler – most of them landscapes found in a garage earlier this year by the seller – went for 95,589 pounds (€107,000) at auction in Britain.
They included an apparent self-portrait showing a man with a side-parting sitting on a stone bridge, signed with the initials A.H.
In 2006, 21 of Hitler’s works were sold in Britain for 118,000 pounds, while during the same year Weidler – located in the Bavarian city of Nuremberg – sold another piece from the Nazi dictator’s youth for €11,000.
