Thomas Mann (1875-1955) in three informal poses, two with cigar in hand (one standing) and other just sitting. Possibly unpublished. Approximately 8x10" each. Tipped onto foam backing with white archival tape, double-matted and framed. 16¼x30½" (overall).

Geiringer was the wife of a wealthy industrialist and maintained with a collaborator a photographic studio in Vienna, which was most active during the 1920’s and 30’s. The Geiringers were well-to-do and well-connected in artistic circles and developed a latter-day salon to which prominent artists and writers were invited, thus meeting Mann.
