Description

Dvorak presents his portrait to collaborating composer Leone Sinigaglia

Esteemed Czech composer (1841–1904) of orchestral and chamber music, best known for his Symphony No. 9, 'From the New World.' Oversized 6.75 x 9.5 imperial cabinet portrait of Dvorak in a distinguished half-length pose, signed on the reverse in ink, "Antonin Dvorak…19 3/7 00," with an inscription to the Italian composer Leone Sinigaglia. Published by Jan Vavruska of Pisek, Czechoslovakia. In fine condition, with some spotting to image, and scattered marks and paper loss to corners and top edge of reverse, in no way affecting the crisp penmanship. From 1900 Sinigaglia worked in Prague with Dvorak, a period in which learned the ability to apply classical techniques to the arrangement of popular songs.
