Signed in pencil lower middle, faintly titled in plate - C.1928.

Austrian etcher and painter Luigi Kasimir (1881-1962) attended the Vienna Academy of Art where he studied under William Unger, who introduced him to colored etching. Kasimir was influenced by Anders Zorn and Karl von Kalckreuth and further studied with Sigmund L'Allemand.

Kasimir was among the early practitioners of the multi-plate color etching. Before this, prints were usually hand-colored with the color being applied in a casual, haphazard manner. Kasimir would first create a sketch, usually in pastel, then transfer the design on as many as four to six plates, printing one after the other and applying the color to the plate - all done by hand. He demonstrated a predisposition for monuments, street scenes, and tourist landmarks. He depicted places all over Europe, mainly Italy, Austria, and Germany. He also traveled to the United States to do a series of etchings of famous sights ranging from urban landmarks such as New York skyscrapers to natural wonders like California’s Yosemite Valley. Kasimir designed a bookplate for Sigmund Freud, who also hung an etching of the Roman Forum by Kasimir in his consulting room. Luigi Kasimir’s etchings can be seen in many galleries and museums, from the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum to countless galleries and fine print collections around the world.
