Born in Biebrich-Mosbach in Nassau in 1849, Heinrich Schlitt is best known for his humorous illustrations and designs featuring dwarves, sagas and fairy tales. 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":"m-a-m-f-house-by-lake-miniature-original-early-19th-century-graphite-drawing-jh-100","title":"M.A.M.F., House by Lake Miniature – Original early 19th-century graphite drawing","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original early 19th-century graphite drawing, M.A.M.F., House by Lake Miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA charming graphite drawing in miniature, showing a house perched above the waters of a lake, alongside a cascading waterfall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Somerset \u0026 Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51988182335817,"sku":"JH-100","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/4306\/5161\/files\/JH-100_32b3abae-60be-4e9c-895a-3dfff4ec0019.jpg?v=1762880867"},{"product_id":"kneeling-donor-masaccios-holy-trinity-original-19th-century-graphite-drawing-jh-173","title":"Kneeling Donor, Masaccio's Holy Trinity – Original 19th-century graphite drawing","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original 19th-century graphite drawing Kneeling Donor, Masaccio's Holy Trinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn accomplished copy, in graphite, of a kneeling donor, taken from Masaccio's Holy Trinity fresco in S.

On the verso of the paper are further sketches of a helmeted soldier and drapery.William Lock was a talented draughtsman working in the circle of Henry Fuseli in Rome towards the end of the 18th century, known for his drawings of historical, mythological, biblical and Shakespearean subjects. Sir Horace Walpole was a great admirer of his work and Fuseli described the young Lock's drawings as 'unrivaled by any man of this day … for invention, taste and spirit.'This drawing is one of a collection of Lock's drawings that we have for sale, the cover of which beared the signature of Lock (see photo).Although this drawing is undated, others in the group are dated 1780. This dates the works to early in Lock's adolescence and shows his precocious talent and the early influence of Henry Fuseli.In graphite and brown ink (verso) on laid paper.
