Description
A delightful watercolour painting of children watching a street entertainer perform. He plays a whistle and drum and makes puppets dance with a ribbon tied to his calf. Inscribed with an illuminated passage by the poet and epigrammatist Friedrich von Logau (1605-1655) to the lower edge in German which translates to, 'Hope is the steadfast stick / and patience is a travel garment / since one wanders through the world and the grave / into eternity'. Signed by the artist to the lower-left edge of the painting, inscribed with the name Logau below the passage, and dated to the lower-left edge.On wove.
Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some foxing and discolouration. There are some mild indentations to the substrate at the lower-left edge.
