Bemerkung:

Beautiful airy drawing of his younger son sitting at the edge of Lake Garda and throwing a stone into the water. On the upper left corner marked 'Torbole' below the drawing written in pencil by Moser 'und wirft einen Stein ins Wasser'. His younger son died when he was only 16 years old. - Koloman Moser 1868-1918 was an Austrian artist who exerted considerable influence on twentieth-century graphic art and one of the formost artists of the Viennese Secession movement and a co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte. He designed a wide area of art works - books and graphic works, from postage stamps to magazine vignettes, fashion, stained glass-windows, porcelain end ceramics, blown glass, tableware, silver, jewellery, furniture and so on. He studied at the Academy of applied art in Vienna. In 1903 together with Josef Hoffmann he founded the Wiener Werkstätte. - Original drawings by him are very rare!
