About the Item
A large, rare and important etching with superb detail and unusual subject matter, this view of three nude male archers, one drawing his bow, another supplying the arrows, and another reclining and watching the arrows fly, was made by Erich Wolfsfeld in 1910. The etching, which captures the musculature and other details of each figure with remarkable texture and faithfulness, won a gold medal in Berlin, a few years after Wolfsfeld moved back to Germany after studying in Italy. The artist was a follower of Adolph von Menzel and became good friends with Otto Greiner and Max Klinger. Starting in 1916 he taught at the Vereinigten Staatsschulen für Freie und Angewandte Kunst, and was known for etchings of nudes and exotic subjects. In the 1930s, the rise of the Nazis caused him to leave for England, where he became a respected portrait painter. This etching is rare, and in this large format especially so.

View All"Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by Klimt
By Erwin Stolz
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Bold and atmospheric, this ink drawing depicts a kneeling nude male figure, his bow arched and his arrow ready to spring forward, surrounded by a flower-bedecked landscape that clearly draws its inspiration from Gustav Klimt's work. To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...
