The rare collection of drawings belonging to Bishop Dr. Johann Török, Vienna, sold by order of the owner, embodying the Viennese collection of Dr. Wilhelm König and a number of examples formerly in the Albertina
This is an auction catalogue issued by the American Art Association in New York in 1928, offering European drawings from the collection of Bishop Johann Török of Vienna, with works also drawn from Wilhelm König's Viennese holdings and the Albertina. The four pictures are reproductions of paintings and prints: a still life of a dead bird and flowers beside a garden vista, a classical architectural perspective with figures, a tavern interior with a seated smoker, and a hunting scene of leopards attacking a stag. A designer might take from them the dense tonal contrast, layered still-life arrangements, and the stage-like architectural depth.
