Moser – Moser, Koloman. – …und wirft einen Stein ins Wasser. (And throughs a stone into the water).

Beautiful airy drawing of his younger son sitting at the edge of Lake Garda and throwing a stone into the water.

His younger son died when he was only 16 years old. – Koloman Moser 1868-1918 was an Austrian artist who exerted considerable influence on twentieth-century graphic art and one of the formost artists of the Viennese Secession movement and a co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte.
