Isabella Mikulicz-Breyer (Prague 1887-1973 Vienna)
Portrait of Prof. Alfred Cossmann at age 60
1930
pencil on firm paper
17 × 12 cm
lower right signed by the artist: "Mikulicz"
below signed by the sitter: "Alf. Coßmann"
upper left and right corners, respectively, inscribed in pencil in another hand (probably the editorial staff of a newspaper): "Donnerstag" ["Thursday"] and "Tgblt" [presumably an abbreviation for "Tageblatt" or "Daily Newspaper"]
verso inscribed and dated: "2. Okt 1930 60 Jahre" etc.
It would appear that this drawing was created for publication as an illustration in a daily newspaper, perhaps in Vienna where Cossmann and Mikulicz both resided.
