Diggelman opened his own studio at the
beginning of the 1930s. He specialized in sports
and tourism posters, working for fashionable
resorts like Gstaad, Klosters, St. Moritz and
Interlaken. His style, which varied depending
on his inspiration, included classical and
stylized landscapes, the famous white rabbit of
St. Moritz, Neue Sachlichkeit and more. Here
he employs an elegant, mannerist, Art Deco
style. Perhaps taking a cue from the depicted
mountain, the Jungfrau (Young Woman), he
portrays the outline of a woman’s head, rouge
and lipstick meticulously applied, with a strand
of pearls around her neck, all against a metallic-
silver rendition of the surrounding mountains.
This is the German version. Paradis p. 193.
