Lot Essay

Prince Albert von Sachsen-Teschen (1738-1822), founder of the Albertina, was a son of August III of Poland and married Archduchess Maria Christina of Austria, daughter of Empress Maria Theresa. According to Professor Held's notes in a 1964 letter Konrad Oberhuber, then at the Albertina, first suggested the attribution to Hutin.
