RUZICKA-LAUTENSCHLÄGER, Hans [1862–1933]

Cityscape

pre-1900

Austrian artist Hans Ruzicka-Lautenschläger is recognized for his land- and cityscapes, painted in Italy, Austria, and elsewhere. His work in a late-Impressionist style has been mentioned favorably in several Austrian art journals, such as Der Merker. He exhibited in Vienna and Munich — and now in Agincourt.¹

This petite work emigrated to the United States with members of the Wasserman family, who settled in Agincourt in 1900.
