Lot Essay

Sigmund Walter Hampel was born in Vienna on July 17, 1867. Son of a glass painter, in his father's workshop Hampel learned about design, material and technique. Studying the old masters at the Vienna Academy of Art, the artist quickly acquired a delicate colouring and improved his technical skills. From 1900 to 1911, he was a member of the Hagenbund, an artists’ association in Vienna.
