Get in touch with art! Erich Lessing Photography proudly presents parts of the world-renowned photographer’s oeuvre.

Our high resolution pictures allow you to explore every detail of an exquisite work of art:
The Japanese folding screen or byōbu – literally ‘wind wall’ – originally consisted of eight panels, each of them painted in brightly coloured traditional Japanese style. The artist as well as the person who commissioned the work remains anonymous. The painting depicts scenes of daily life in and around the town of Osaka in the early 17th century. The panels are to be read from the bottom right to the top left.

The Japanese folding screen was probably acquired by Prince Johann Seyfried von Eggenberg in the late 17th century. Eventually it was dismantled into its eight panels to decorate a then fashionable ‘Indian Room’ in the palace Eggenberg in Graz, Austria, now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
