Josef Hoffmann (Pirnitz 1870 – 1956 Vienna), “Free Drawing: Seated Woman,” ca. 1930, sepia over pencil sketch on ivory-colored vélin, monogrammed within a rectangle in the upper right corner, 30 x 21 cm, inventory card from the Würthle Gallery on the reverse, Vienna (Inv. No. 173825), mounted on backing board and framed under glass with a mat in a white wooden frame, overall dimensions: 52 x 42 cm. Limit 540,- Provenance: - Acquired from the Würthle Gallery, Vienna. In his later years, Hoffmann—co-founder of the Vienna Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte—moved away from the strict geometric grids and squares of his early career. Instead, he turned to flowing, almost surreal and organic line drawings. This drawing, for example, depicts a highly stylized, abstract figure rendered with a single, curved ink line. Similar ink and pencil studies by Hoffmann are now held in major collections such as the Leopold Museum in Vienna.
