A woman with a fashionably short haircut sits on a wooden box in front of a well-stocked bookcase, facing away from the viewer. She is buried in a book, and on the floor is a white cloth she may have used earlier to remove dust. Friedrich Frotzel, a native of Vienna, captures this private moment of reading in a precise, almost photorealistic manner. He studied mechanical and electrical engineering at the Technical University of Vienna before becoming a self-taught painter in 1924. Frotzel, who joined the National Socialist Party in 1933, classified his art in 1938 as “traditional” and produced works in keeping with the party’s beliefs.
