summary
Hungarian-born artist Hugo Scheiber (1873-1950) spent his childhood in Vienna. He later studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Budapest before returning to Vienna in 1921 where he was influenced by the Viennese Secession and Expressionist styles as seen in the present work. This image is one of a rare handful that Scheiber painted on a Jewish theme.
