The work, which is part of a series of other lithographs realized in the same Liberty style, could be one of the representations of the Odyssey.

Ferdinand-Sigismond Bach, known as Ferdinand Bac was a French cartoonist, artist and writer, son of an illegitimate nephew of the Emperor Napoleon.

  • Entrance to the temple at Klungkung, Bali, 1925
    Located in Amsterdam, NL
    Entrance to the temple at Klungkung, Bali, 1925 With studio seal at the reverse, dated and described, bottom left Black chalk on paper, 53 x 46.5 cm In ebonized frame with white mount Willem Otto Wijnand Nieuwenkamp (1874-1950) Nieuwenkamp was born on July 27th 1874 in Amsterdam.
