It would be hard to tell now where I bought this lithograph. I rescued this piece of art from a second-hand store or an estate sale. Just by taking a quick glance at the etching I knew that it was valuable.Today I decided to go on a hunt for some information about the piece. I wanted to find out who was Adler, how old is the etching, what can I find following the clues: artist's signature and the frame makers' label on the back of the picture. Thanks to the Internet, this is what I've discovered so far:
Adler, Marie (1863-1947)
- Wien Museum (Vienna Museum) has at least four of her etchings.
- GALERIE SAXONIA has her work and provides a short biography in German. There is a note stating that in 1938 the artist has emigrated to the United States of America.
- Her art is being sold on Ebay and in art auctions, mostly in Europe.
- A piece of trivia: Marie Adler was born in the same year as Henry Ford (1863-1947).
