This painting by Belgian artist, Alex de Andreis (1880-1929), is entitled “The Traitor” and is signed lower right, but not dated.  The site area of the painting measures 31 1/4” x 38 3/4” and overall with the large gilt frame measures 40” x 47 1/2”. It seems to depict a man to the right who is quite angry and shaking his fist at the man seated at the desk, while two other men hold him back.  The question is, who is the traitor, is it the standing man or the one seated?  We may never know.

The painting is quite heavy being on panel and large. The painting was professionally cleaned and revarnished by Chicago Fine Art.
