Adolf Hitler watercolours go on sale

24 Apr, 2009

A series of watercolours by Adolf Hitler were set to go on sale at a British auction house later Thursday. The 13 landscapes, which include an apparent self-portrait showing a man with a side-parting sitting on a stone bridge, were due to be auctioned at Ludlow in western England.
The paintings were found in a garage earlier this year by the seller, who bought them from someone who found them in 1945, Richard Westwood-Brookes of auctioneers Mullock's said. In 2006, 21 of Hitler's works were sold in Britain for 118,000 pounds (126,000 euros, 171,000 dollars).
