Schlitt first received teaching from Wiesbaden artist Kaspar Kögler, then went on to study at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich with Wilhelm Lindenschmit from 1875—the date of this drawing.Schlitt worked successfully as an illustrator for the Illustrated Newspaper and the magazines Overland and Sea, Daheim and Schalk—his work became well known to the public through these magazines. He also worked as one of principal artists for the ceramics firm Villeroy and Boch, in particular designing drinking vessels, which are now highly collectable. His highly regarded painted frescoes also adorn the walls of the Rathskeller (town hall) in Munich and Wiesbaden.Here Schlitt has drawn a number studies of Medieval German costume features, including headpieces and jewellery. The distinctive heavy outlining to some of the illustrations give the appearance of medieval stained glass artwork—and indeed one is inscribed 'Nach eine Glascheibe' or 'After a glass pane'. Each illustration is inscribed in German, including: 'Goldkappe mit seinen Schleier darmuster c.1490' (gold cap with its veil patterns); 'Goldhaube mit Schleien—eine Ohrmuschel mit Perlen besetzt circa 1490' (gold hood with loops—an ear shell with pearls circa 1490) and 'Edelmann c.1480 mit Goldkette' (nobleman c.1480 with gold necklace).The drawing is presented in a cream window mount, secured at the top corners with hinging tape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Somerset \u0026 Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51987909476681,"sku":"JG-026","price":148.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/4306\/5161\/files\/jg-026.jpg?v=1743087943"},{"product_id":"pickford-robert-waller-knight-aries-original-19th-century-pen-ink-drawing-jg-035","title":"Pickford Robert Waller, Knight Aries Zodiac – Original 19th-century pen \u0026 ink drawing","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original 19th-century pen \u0026amp; ink drawing, Pickford Robert Waller, Knight Aries Zodiac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis humorous pen and ink drawing is by the distinguished designer and collector Pickford Robert Waller (1849–1930).

This design is very similar to other commemorative plates by Smirke dating from 1803, such as his famous ‘The Victory of the Nile’ (National Portrait Gallery, London), engraved by John Landseer, which features medallion portraits of Lord Nelson and his fourteen naval captains, flanked by allegorical figures of Fame and Nile—in tribute to Nelson's victory over the French at the Battle of the Nile in 1798.This beautiful study has a sensitivity and charm which is lost in the more grand and formal finished, engraved plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is one of two drawings by Smirke that we have for sale, which we acquired as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Somerset \u0026 Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51993199903049,"sku":"JJ-254","price":280.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/4306\/5161\/files\/jj-254.jpg?v=1743155005"},{"product_id":"oscar-squero-di-san-trovaso-venice-late-20th-century-watercolour-painting-jj-383","title":"Oscar, Squero di San Trovaso, Venice – Late 20th-century watercolour painting","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original contemporary watercolour painting, Oscar, Oscar, Squero di San Trovaso, Venice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA delightful watercolour painting of the church on the Squero di San Trovaso in Venice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Somerset \u0026 Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51993218351433,"sku":"JJ-383","price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/4306\/5161\/files\/jj-383.jpg?v=1743155199"},{"product_id":"view-of-cathedral-original-early-19th-century-engraving-print-jj-547","title":"View of Cathedral – Original early 19th-century engraving print","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original early 19th-century engraving print, View of Cathedral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA charming small engraving of a rural view.
