This watercolor drawing by Marie Ellenrieder, a German artist born in 1791, depicts an angel holding a tablet inscribed with the words "Glück und Segen" meaning "happiness and blessings". The angel's serene expression and the inscription suggest a theme of hope and divine favor. The delicate watercolor technique and the angel's graceful posture create a sense of tranquility, making it a beautiful example of the artist's work.
