Description

Mrs. Louise von Leyden, the lady in the portrait, hailed from a family of artists. She herself was a watercolourist, her husband, Victor Ernst von Leyden, was a sculptor, her elder son Albrecht von Leyden was a photographer and oil colour painter; her younger son Rudolf von Leyden was an art critic, a cartoonist, a photographer, and a painter. The Leyden Family had friendly relationships with Walter Langhammer, the artist of this portrait.
Walter Langhammer was an Austrian by origin. His works express traits of Expressionism and Post-Impressionism while revealing his penchant for pure and bright colours applied boldly with a painting knife.
