Pair Antique August Hendschel Skizzenbuch German Figurative Prints Framed
A charming pair of antique German prints after August Hendschel (1846–1883), taken from his celebrated Skizzenbuch (Sketchbook) and presented in matching blue frames with gilt detailing.
One depicts an engaging interior scene of a seated figure absorbed in reading or drawing, surrounded by chairs and domestic furnishings. The companion piece shows an outdoor rural scene with a woman seated on a donkey, accompanied by a gentleman.
Both bear the printed inscription “Aus A. Hendschel’s Skizzenbuch (Nachlass.)”, indicating that the images originate from Hendschel’s posthumous estate/sketchbook collection. The lower margins also carry Frankfurt publishing/reproduction details.
Hendschel was a German draughtsman and illustrator known for his wonderfully spontaneous observations of people, children and everyday life, often combining character and gentle humour.
The prints have attractive age-related toning and are offered as a matching pair. Please see photographs for condition and detail.
Lovely decorative examples of late-19th-century German illustration and particularly appealing displayed as a pair.
