Four heads - Vexierbild.

Drawing, red chalk over black chalk, writing in pen and black ink, 16,5 x 19 cm, laid paper, unsigned (some stains, vert. and horiz. centerfolds).

Laid down on passe-partout.

Unusual and humorous composition of four heads in different quarters. They represent a beautiful woman and her three different types of husband (the obedient one, the old one and the rich one) which fell for her lures. This type of image is known as a "Vexierbild", with hidden faces in other objects. Drawn after a rare engraving, also included in this lot. (2 pcs)
