NOTES
[1] The inscription on the verso, noting that the drawing came from the Kohlrausch estate, is initialed G.P., probably for Gustav Parthey. [2] Heumann lent the drawing to the exhibition of “Deutsch-Römische Malerei und Zeichnung, 1790-1830,” Museum der bildenden Künste, Leipzig, August 1 – October 31, 1926, cat. no. 187. It was consigned to Ketterer in 1953 with two other drawings from the Heumann collection. The Heumann collection sale would take place through Ketterer in 1956.
