- Outline design still deviating from the engraving :

Ridinger, Johann Elias. The Lynx
Pen-and-ink in brown with brown wash over traces of graphite - Splendidly large-sized, splendidly high-graded drawing
and as such exceedingly precious today :
Ridinger, Johann Elias. The Spring of the Hounds - Finest of the Finest :
Ridinger, Johann Elias. Spring-Gun on a Bear - Made up for superior presentation :
Ridinger, Johann Elias. To Stalk the Stag with the Hollow Pot - Delicate Rococo drawing :
Ridinger, Johann Elias. To Call the Roe Deer! - Chief washed drawing from the Master’s early days :
Ridinger, Johann Elias. To catch the Wolf in the Pit with the Sheep - More fascinating by each fresh look
Ridinger, Johann Jacob (?). Many Lynxes are the Deer’s Death - Ride with the great horses Rugendas –
Two most rare graphic pendants of the late period :
Rugendas I, Georg Philipp. Assembling for the Ride - Determined by the softness of its brush technique :
Rugendas II, Georg Philipp. Hunting Luck
