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.

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.
