(Heawood 1841), signed (small tears at edges).

Shepherds by the fire. 17th c.

Drawing, white and black chalk on brown prepared paper, 22,2 x 33 cm, underlaid

paper, unsigned (some brown spots and glue marks on verso).

300 / 400 €

Finely drawn representation of three shepherds resting by the fireplace, with the

flames illuminating their faces. The scene is set in a stable and a flock of sheep,

a bull and donkey can be seen on the left. The white chalk on brown support is

used to achieve a rustic nocturnal impression. Possibly Neapolitan.

111 [Italian school]

Court room scene. 19/07/1755.

Drawing, pen and brown ink, grey gouache, 17,1 x 14,4 cm, signed and dated in

pen at lower edge «[illegible] Spagnoli fecit» and «19 Julio 1755» (several creases).

Glued on contemp. engraving, loose sheet.

120 / 150 €

Three tromp-l’oeil drawings creating the illusion of a bulletin board with

newspaper cuttings, prints, letters and playing cards. Winterschmidt (1755-

1809) was one of the most succesful German producers of this rejuvenated

genre at the end of the 18th century.

109 [German school]

An elegant couple in a rich interior. 18th c.

Drawing, black chalk, heightened with white, 14,8 x 18,7 cm, brown paper,

unsigned.

100 / 120 €

A man, woman and a little dog sitting on a bench, with a view on to a courtly

garden with a fountain.

A skilful sketch made on a piece of scrap paper showing the interior of a court

room or dungeon. Two men are chained to the wall, while a third on the left

is standing on a flight of stairs. Perhaps a justice scene. The drawing has

been glued on to a fragment of an 18th-century Italian ornament print with

cartouches and grotesques.
