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":"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).

As such, he contributed to the arts of naval victory, despite Smirke himself making no secret of his own democratic opinions.This design features a number of cameo portraits and bears the motto 'splendor septentriones,' which can mean 'the splendour of the seven stars' or 'the splendour of the North’. Allegorical figures from classical antiquity are used to give the design stature and gravitas—with Athena or Minerva (goddess of wisdom, craft, and war) to the right and Asclepius (hero and god of medicine) to the left, and possibly Marcus Aurelius on horseback in the centre. 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":"george-arnald-ara-at-the-theatre-paris-original-c-1818-graphite-drawing-jk-969","title":"George Arnald ARA, At the Theatre, Paris – Original c.1818 graphite drawing","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original c.1818 graphite drawing, George Arnald ARA, At the Theatre, Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wonderful small sketch by George Arnald ARA (1763–1841) showing a theatre interior in post-Napoleonic Paris, with figures treading the boards in the foreground.This is one of a set of five Paris subjects we have for sale, likely executed on Arnald's 1818 tour of France.
