Ornament, gebildet aus dem Schwanz eines Löwen, darin Titania und Oberon (_) 24 - 1867

This delicate pencil drawing by Paul Konewka, titled "Ornament, gebildet aus dem Schwanz eines Löwen, darin Titania und Oberon (_)", depicts a whimsical scene of two figures, presumably Titania and Oberon, positioned beneath a fantastical, swirling ornament. Konewka, known for his illustrative work, captures the essence of these characters from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with a light and airy touch, emphasizing the playful nature of the subject. This preliminary sketch, dated 1867, provides a glimpse into Konewka's creative process and his ability to translate literary narratives into captivating visual forms. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany.
