Fasnachtshelge "Leider wieder" is a 1957 unspecified by Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, depicting ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting shows a gray donkey sitting on its hind legs, waving at a small, black-and-white cat. The cat holds a sign that says "KLEIDER" and stands on an orange stripe. Above them, bold text reads "LEIDER WIEDER" and mentions "amtlich bewilligte Ausverkauf-Tieraden." The donkey looks friendly, while the cat seems to be selling something. The donkey’s name, "Esel," is written below, along with a playful message in German. The scene feels like a mix of humor and advertising, with the animals acting almost human. If you like this quirky style, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more unusual pieces.
