.935 Silver Cigarette Case with Enamel Painting: Lady In Bedroom 

The following lifelike scene is painted there: A young sleeping bare-breasted lady being situated in her bed is presented: The bedroom is luxuriously furnished - with the tester bed visible in picture’s center … The painting is signed by ‘Reznicek’: The painter of this picture is Ferdinand Freiherr von Reznicek (1868 Vienna - 1909 Munich), an Austrian painter, and illustrator, having specialised on drawings on behalf of the specialist journals ‘Jugend’, 'Simplicissimus’ and 'Fliegende Blaetter’. Reznicek was a skilful illustrator of elegant world of upper class - combined with an affectionately-critical touch. [Wikipedia]  The cigarette box is gilded (gilt) inside.
