Each circa 22 x 16 cm. 1 with the photographer’s blindstamp in the lower right corner; each annotated in pencil on the reverse. Pepa Feldscharek graduated from the Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in Vienna in 1918 and co-founded a photography studio with fellow graduate Melanie Heller in 1920. From 1922 onward, she ran the studio independently, specializing in fashion, dance, and portrait photography. Her work appeared regularly in leading illustrated magazines, including *Die Bühne*, *Moderne Welt*, *Die Dame*, *Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung*, *Wiener Magazin*, and *Münchner Illustrierte Presse*. Following the annexation of Austria in 1938, she fled Nazi persecution due to her Jewish heritage and emigrated to the United States, adopting the name Josefine Schreier. She eventually settled in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where she died in 1962. – Nude study with slight silver mirroring along the edges and a few light surface scuff marks; otherwise in very good condition.
