Artist, Austrian, 1870 - 1956

The image shows a blue ink drawing of a tall, ornate wine glass or goblet placed at the center of a grid-patterned background. The drawing features intricate detailing on the stem and base with decorative elements reminiscent of leaves and grapes. The color palette consists mainly of blue ink on a light beige grid paper. The goblet's stem extends from the center bottom of the page and rises vertically, with the decorative parts located midway up the goblet. At about two-thirds of the right side, there is a small oval label containing the text "K Pall" also in blue.
