August Sander (1876–1964) - (August Sander Kreis) Mutter-Kind Portrait

(August Sander Circle)
Mutter-Kind Portrait. Oval original photograph (diameter about 10.5 cm. Cardboard about 25 x 18.5 cm) mounted on cardboard. On the back with the photographer studio stamp: Fotogr. Atelier K. Steinparzer (A. Sander), Linz. Landstrasse 57.

August Sander, who ran a photo studio in Linz from 1901-1909, sold his studio, which was located at Landstrasse 59-61 in Linz, to Karl Steinparzer, who continued to use this firm name for several more years. Interesting subject, matching Sander’s later series Mother and Child. It is unclear who the photographer in this case was, nevertheless of high quality and at least from the closer circle of August Sander.
