NOTES
This lively print by Bavarian-born Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel was used for upholstery and curtains in the library of a house in the Moravian town of Winkelsdorf. Built for banker and industrialist Otto Primavesi and his wife Eugenia, it showed the couples’ passion for Viennese progressive art and design. The Villa Primavesi, as it was called, was just one of many important Wiener Werkstätte commissions located in the present-day Czech Republic.
