Thienemann + Schwarz 196. – Sheet 1 of the STUDY OF THE WILD ANIMALS with the subtext of the Hamburg pope of poets, jurist & senator, foremost, however, friend of Ridinger’s, Barthold Heinrich Brockes (1680-1747), in German. – Margins 2.5-4 cm wide. – Barely perceptible trace of fold above right still including the just hatched corner of the subject.
PAINTERLY-FINE SHEET
