Note 2) This is a beautiful night
time view of a full moon in an inventively and attractive blue sky, with the
moon's light suffusing the sky with a bright light and penetrating and
filtering strongly between the trees in a forest, in 1915. It is attractively
framed and in good condition. The foregoing considerations, including the above
biographical information, and the following auction records regarding Tauszky
sales warrant the conclusion that the presale estimate of $1,000-$2,000 is
reasonable and justifiable.
