These panels are two of a series of four painted for the music room of Karl Wittgenstein's house in the Alleegasse, Vienna.
Friedrich König was a member of the Hagenbund which, under the leadership of Urban and Lefler, withdrew from the Künstlerhaus in 1900. Not only did he exhibit with other members of the group at the Zedlitzhalle and contribute designs to the Ver Sacrum, but he also collaborated on architectural commissions such as that with Olbrich for the the Villa Friedman and the Wittgenstein house, from which these panels originate.
Karl Wittgenstein, like his brother Paul and daughter Margaret were great patrons of the Viennese Secession, and later the Wiener Werkstätte.
