Current European eBay and German Auction House Finds:

*
I thought I would post a few of the current interesting selections that I culled from the European eBay and some German Auction House sites for you. Most are late 19th and early 20th century works and there is one unusual and rare female nude study in colored pencils below. Enjoy.

Philip Fleischer (1850-1930): Stand Male Nude - 1900

The Philip Fleischer male nude drawing arrived from Germany today. I scanned it and have posted the results below. It is not a large drawing yet it is very detailed and acomplished in the fine detail. The top of his shoulders and chest are highlighted with white chalk. I think these small graphite drawings are my favorite.

Male and Female Nudes - Painted Plaster Bas-Relief - circa. 1800

*

This is something I can honestly say I have never seen before. Antiquariat Peter Kiefer, Buch und Kunstauktionen, Pforzheim, DE has recently listed this oddity in their current auction catalog. I do not recall ever seeing a male and female academic nude executed in low-relief in a painted plaster medium before. According to the auction house, this group of reliefs dates from around 1800. I am guessing they were used in art instruction. (?) Interesting, none the less.

19th Century Italian School: Male Nude Wrestlers

*
Kunstauktionshaus Chiemgau, Traunstein, DE has listed this academic study of two male nude wrestlers by an unknown Italian artist from the mid-19th century in their current catalog. Unfortunately, the painting is not signed and the auction description does not give much information on the lot.
