"Moonlit Night" (1925) and "Falling Star" (1925) by František Kobliha (1877-1962)

Egon Sciele was not slow to take advantage of the free rail travel he enjoyed as a railwayman's son. When he was seventeen, he and his sister Gerti, four years his junior, went to Trieste, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His oil sketch of the harbour features the arabesque decorativeness characteristic of the Art Nouveau.
