Josef Drahoňovský (1877 - 1938) GIRL WITH A VASE

Drahoňovský's works can be found in the collections of the aristocracy and the Church, the Museo Vaticano, the Pierpont Morgan Museum in New York, the Museum de la monofacture de Sévres, museums in Moscow and private collections in many countries. The intaglio with an antiquizing motif continues an artistic tradition that Drahonovsky has managed to reassert. His childhood under Kozákov in the Bohemian Paradise, a region full of legends and deposits of semi-precious stones, probably contributed to his love.
