ADAM FRIEDRICH OESER
(1717 Pressburg (Bratislava) - 1799 Leipzig)
Idealized Head of a Young Woman
Black chalk, 414 – 420 x 296 -301 mm. Inscribed at the bottom right:
“d. 25 Januar 1….- Akademie d. K……“ (25th of January 1…., Academy of
Fine A….”)
Conservation: Slightly soiled and stained
Provenance: Private Collection Berlin
I would like to thank Dr. Richard Hüttel (Leipzig) for confirming
the attribution (written statement September 7th 2009).
As the inscription states, this drawing was executed when Oeser was
the head of the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig. J. W. Goethe and J.
J. Winkelmann have been pupils of Oeser. |
