Artist, Austrian, 1870 - 1956

This is a drawing of an interior space with patterned walls and a draped curtain. The image depicts a corner of a room with walls patterned with repeated shapes, resembling small circles or ovals, arranged in a regular grid across the surface. On the right side of the drawing, there is a draped curtain gathered at the bottom. The lines are sketched on graph paper, adding a grid-like background to the composition. The drawing conveys a sense of depth through the perspective of the converging lines in the corner.
