Forgotten and obscured artist active in Munich 1911-1940 as a teacher at drawing and illustrator appearing in Jugend Magazine where this wonderful Jugendstill design by her hand was found. She is not actually represented with a work in this collection.
It would make a great design for a woodblock print.
