Adrian Zingg (1734 St. Gallen - 1816 Leipzig) attr;
At the hay harvest
A charming landscape veduta, probably executed around 1790, with clear parallels in style and motif to the oeuvre of Adrian Zingg, who found his motifs primarily in the Thuringian Forest, parts of Bohemia and in Saxon Switzerland, which he travelled through together with his friend, the painter Anton Graff, in the 1780s and 1790s. Trained as an engraver by his father and in Zurich and Paris, the artist taught at the Dresden Academy from 1764 and maintained close contact with Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich, whose late prints he completed and published after Dietrich's death. Pen and wash drawing in sepia with white heightening/paper. Illegibly inscribed on the plate; handwritten artist's inscription on old paper label verso. 27.7 cm x 35.9 cm. Frame.
