Lots 120 -142, a collection of 19^th/early 20^th century Austro-Hungarian Sketches and Watercolours.

Labels attached to some of the collection verso indicate that they were in the collection of Hugo Friedmann a Jewish Viennese art collector the bulk of whose collection was taken by the Nazi government in 1938, and who later perished in 1945 a few months after his liberation from a concentration camp.

Most, if not all, were contained in a portfolio marked ‘Denkmalamt’ which is available to inspect during the pre-sale view.
