Menzel was the leading master of later nineteenth-century German art. In its deftness and subtlety of line and modelling, it compares with the life drawings of Degas, also represented in the Barber collection. The drawing is a study for the gouache entitled 'Contribution', signed and dated 1884, and now in the Kupfertichkabinett, Berlin. Inscriptions / Translations: Signed l.r. with initials and dated, AM/30 DEC/84 Notes: Exhibited: 'Barber Goes North: Treasures from the Barber Institute', Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal, UK, 15 October 2010 - 15 December 2010 |
