While this looks like typical 19th C. academic work, it is part of a collection of 20th C. studies that Franz von Stuck did for paintings. Many of those only vaguely resemble the finished works, and the curators of the website where I found this charcoal drawing did not reference a painting.
His work fascinates me. If I get to Germany again seeing the Museum Villa Stuck is at the top of the list. Friends of mine who have been said that it is essential.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to go back to Germany, too, and this would be nice to do.
