Titania, unbekleidet und mit hochgestecktem Haar, und Nick Bottom mit Eselskopf, gehend, begleitet von Elfenkindern c. 1867 - 1868

This pencil sketch by Paul Konewka, titled "Titania, unbekleidet und mit hochgestecktem Haar, und Nick Bottom mit Eselskopf, gehend, begleitet von Elfenkindern", depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The artwork features Titania, Queen of the Fairies, and Nick Bottom, a weaver who is transformed into a donkey, walking together. The figures are surrounded by fairies, or elf-children. This drawing is a preliminary study for a larger project, likely a book illustration or a decorative panel. Konewka was known for his illustrations of Shakespearean plays and other literary works. This artwork, created around 1867–1868, exemplifies his unique style with its delicate lines and graceful figures.
