Dear Professor!
I am enclosing 5 “black” and 5 “colored” drawings, the former for 30 c. [crowns] each, the latter for 50 c. each – many of my works are circulating in exhibitions, some of them at the Arnot Gallery, Vienna I, Kärntnerring 15. I currently have a larger collection of paintings and am enclosing a reproduction of one of the exhibited works.
The smaller painting is sized 140 x 120 cm – the figures are life-sized and it is priced at 800 c. – I have this painting in my keeping.
The larger painting is sized 180 x 150 cm, the figures are also life-sized and it is priced at 1500 c. The latter is exhibited at the Arnot Gallery. – Please return the photos to me.
