These are wonderful - where did you find them? I used to live in Budapest and so enjoyed the national gallery there which is in the castle on the Buda side if I remember, but you probably know much more than I do...

Thank you for sharing these splendid images.

"Extremely unknown" - thanks for posting these magnificent works. Suggestion: you might like Hugo Scheiber.

Each one of these paintings is unique and beautiful. I am riveted. Thank you once again for making known yet another little- known artist.

ps: the resemblance of the second portrait to Indian artist Amrita Shergill is striking. It is her isn't it? Shergill grew up in Budapest.

Thanks for the comments Hannah and Gunther, I have checked out Scheiber, fantastic painter.

That's an interesting spot Priya, I had no idea Sher-Gil grew up in Budapest.

The eyes of the people in these paintings look at you very intensely, which I guess suggests an electric atmosphere in the artist's studio.
