Im Hotel zur Nachtigall c. 1921

Karl Wiener's 1921 "Im Hotel zur Nachtigall" is a colorful ink drawing depicting a multi-story building with a seemingly endless view of a cityscape. The building is divided into individual rooms, and each room depicts a different scene of the night. The use of hatch marks and shading contributes to the depth of the image, making it feel like a realistic perspective of the busy city at night. The artist was a German Expressionist painter, sculptor and graphic artist who, despite his short career, was a pioneer of the modern artistic era.
