Lesser Ury, Frau am Schreibtisch, 1898
Lesser Ury (November 7, 1861 – October 18, 1931) was a German Impressionist painter and printmaker, associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.
He was born Leo Lesser Ury in Birnbaum, the son of a baker whose death in 1872 was followed by the Ury family’s move to Berlin. In 1878 Lesser left school to apprentice with a tradesman, and the next year he went to Düsseldorf to study painting at the Kunstakademie. Ury spent time in Brussels, Paris, Stuttgart, and other locations, before returning to Berlin in 1887.
