A Hitler portrait from the Bechstein household, offered for sale

ADOLF HITLER oil painting, original by Ernst Heilemann [Click image to enlarge]  [Inquire] The owner, Harris, writes: ATTACHED is a portrait of Hitler, done for Edwin Bechstein by Ernst Heilemann in Berlin in 1928. It came out of a storage locker of a recently passed WW2 vet. It had been damaged by some GI with a knife. I just got it back from an art conservitor who repaired the damage. The reverse side shows the Bechstein's Berlin address of No. 6 Johannstrasse. As you probably know , this is the period when Helene Bechstein was helping Hitler with money, influence, etc., to further his political carreer. Thought you might like to see this.
