Signed Dr. Khosrow Salehi - Schloss Schonbrunn - Art print



Purchased on January 14, 2013


This is an Art print obtained from Chelsea New York, the enticing mix of watercolors has caught my eyes and made me to take it home. I have tried to do some research online however there is not much information for this artist. Here are some background for this beautiful palace in Austria and brief information about the artist. I hope one day I will have the opportunity to visit this place.


Schönbrunn Palace (German: Schloss Schönbrunn) is a former imperial 1,441-room Rococo summer residence in modern Vienna, Austria. One of the most important cultural monuments in the country, since the 1960s it has been one of the most popular tourist destination in Vienna, attended by millions of visitors each year.
