179138981791. 13 x 9 inches. Dark brown body colour on prepared paper. Inscribed "N.2.Stück" and "am 9ten Aprill 1791--nach der Natur gezeichnet von JEW" ink collector's stamp "Linel-Smlg. No." followed by pencilled number "1046" all on verso. Provenance: Linel ink collector's stamp on verso.<br/> <br/>A high quality image that clearly is drawn from life as the inscription claims. The artist's use of a dark prepared ground recalls the work of Barbara Regina Dietsch and her family. A search of Nissen's index of artists reveals one possible name: the Swiss artist Johann Emmanuel Wyss 1782-1837. However the maturity and assurance shown in the present drawing would seem to rule him out: he could have been no older than nine in April 1791. unknown books

1750762Augusburg 1750. Original Drawing for Book Illustration. 160 x 197 mm. 6 ¼ X 7 ¾ inches. Drawn on blue paper laid down on 19th century paper. Black double fillet ink border. Shows some light wear but otherwise in very good condition. An attractive and well executed drawing in brown and white ink which illustrates the Book of Life surrounded by figures which probably illustrate the four seasons. This motif is crowned by a chorus of angels and saints also drawn in fine detail. Originally thought to be an Italian drawing the small-scale figures and the delicate pen strokes suggest the Augsburg School of the mid-18th century. Artists like Johann Wolfgang Baumgartner Joseph Christ and Godfried Göz all painters of  considerable skill and reputation who also worked closely with local publishers creating designs for prints and book illustrations. The choice of blue paper and the application of white ink to heighten the image is typical of Augsburg style of the 1750's. For further information see Thomas Kaufmann's monograph Central European Drawings 1680-1800. Princeton 1989 and an essay by Peter Stoll in OPUS "Empire of Prints. The Imperial City of Augsburg and the Printed Image in the 17th and 18th Centuries" 2016. Both works are well illustrated and show examples of the drawings and prints from Augsburg artists during the period. unknown books
