Note:
Zichy was one of the most significant Hungarian painters of the 19th century. He attended Jakab Marastoni's (1804-1860) art school in Pest before travelling to Vienna in 1844 to study under Ferdinand George Waldmüller (1793-1865). He largely lived and worked in Paris and St Petersburg (Russian Empire) for the remainder of his career.
Zichy is best-known as an illustrator, particularly for the Georgian epic poem 'The Knight in the Panther's Skin' alongside contemporary titles including Imre Madách's 'The Tragedy of Man'. The present works are particularly fine examples of his erotic scenes.
