Large wall fresco with reclining beauty in oriental architectural backdrop. This fresco was part of a cycle of paintings executed by Josef Engelhart (Vienna 1864-1941) for the dining room of the Gottlieb Taussig Palace (Schönbrunner Strasse 215) in Vienna. Christof Martin Wieland's verse epic "Oberon" from 1780 served as a model. The palace was hit by a bomb in 1945, as a result of which the frescoes were removed. Six frescoes are available.
