"As a center of textile production, Vienna boasted many fashionable shops. Their advertisements could be lavish. This painted sign promoted merchandise at a high-end shop in the city center. Celebrated dancer Fanny Elßler might have served as a model." (Information text in the museum)

 

Josef Ziegler (* 1785 in Vienna; † 1852 in Vienna) was a painter of the Viennese Biedermeier period.
