Luigi Kasimir Colored Etching "Seebenstein Castle"

Item Details

By Hand

An etching on paper of a well, titled Seebenstein Castle, by Austro-Hungarian artist Luigi Kasimir (1881-1962).

This work is signed by the artist in pencil to the center of the lower margin, and is presented behind a double mat and under glass in a gold tone frame with hanging hardware to the verso.
