Description

La Légende Des Gnomes De Bavière is an original black and a white burin, after Moritz von Schwind, realized by Carl Friedrich Mayr (1823 - 1884) during the XIX century.

In good conditions, except for foxings along the whole margins. Including a passepartout.

The artwork represents Bavarian Gnomes struggling with what seems to be a human foot. These legendary bearded fellows were invented in Germany more than one century ago to ward off hungry rabbits and small ogres.

Moritz von Schwind (1804 - 1871) was an Austrian-born German painter. He was a leading early Romantic portraitist of idealized Austria and Germany - those of knights, castles, and the provincial charm of his own time.
24.8 x 31.2 (foglio), 33 x 40.6 (passepartout), 23.5 x 30 (image)
