Footnotes

  • The prototype for the present posthumous portrait of Frederick the Great is a work by Daniel Chodowiecki dated 1777. A watercolour version was sold in these rooms, 22 November 2006, lot 113.

    A Franz Schutz and a Fritz Schutze are both recorded by Nevill Jackson, however their flourishing dates make them unlikely to be the artist responsible for the present lot.

    See colour illustration on inside front cover.
