Defregger' (lower right), inscribed and dated 'Fuer die Kegelbahn Dem Freund Emil Rosenbomen am 29 Juni 1890' (lower right) oil on canvas 106.5 x 102 cm. The present lot closely resembles two paintings depicted in H.P. Defregger, Defregger 1835-1921, Munich, 1983, pp. 188, 322. Although Defregger made use of different sizes of canvas, the overall composition equals the two other versions. However, the manner in which the works were painted, differ slightly. Whereas the present painting seems to be more schematic, the other two versions have a thicker layer of paint and obtain fewer details.
