Description

Depicting the Weimar Grand Duke Carl August of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, accompanied by 2 dogs in the park on the Ilm in Weimar. Monogrammed in the image lower left; signed in the plate below: C.A. Schwerdgeburth del. & sculps Weimar 1824; titled below: Karl August, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach

Provenance

26.06.1942 purchased from the art antiquarian Reinhold Puppel, formerly Hollstein & Puppel, Berlin; the art antiquarian was Aryanised in 1936 by the part-owner Puppel. Hollstein, who was Jewish and married and had been banned from the profession, emigrated to Holland in 1937; the sheet was purchased after the Aryanisation of the art shop. It is not known when and from whom the art shop acquired it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the print belongs to the old stock of Hollstein & Puppel.
