Sonntagsfreuden (Im Paradiesgarten). Um 1900-10.
Watercoloured India ink and Chalk drawing.
Signed lower left. Signed and titled "Im Paradiesgarten" on the reverse. Encircled with ink margin. On copper plate printing paper (with embossed stamp). 43,9 : 33,3 cm (17,2 : 13,1 in), size of sheet. The present drawing deftly depicts the quirky lifestyle led at the time by the residents of Berlin in all its intensity and teeming urban profusion. The colours and detailed execution make this a particularly fine example of the artist’s work. [AS]
