Unknown - Painting Fallow Deer with Doe in the Alps, Oil on Canvas 19th century A lovely Biedermeier style oil painting depicting a fallow deer family in the alpine landscape. Oil on canvas 1st halve of the 19th century. Framed with antique gilded frame, stretcher frame replaced. A marvelous wall decoration for each rustig log cabin. The Biedermeier period runs parallel to the Romantic period and both are characterized by similar features. Domesticity, closeness to nature, folksiness and need for harmony are buzzwords of this time. The focus is on the simple, the conservative and the tried and tested. There is little experimentation and more observation and enjoyment. The art style is kept very realistic and shows great similarity to photography. Domestic idyllic representations, beautiful landscape and impressive portraits are the most popular topics for oil paintings...

European Owls – Antique Hand-Colored Bird Engraving, Vogel IX, c.1800 This finely executed hand-colored engraving presents six European owl species arranged in comparative study, issued as Plate IX (Vogel IX / Oiseaux IX). The plate belongs to the late 18th–early 19th century tradition of scientific ornithology, in which birds were illustrated side by side to support identification, classification, and study. The owls depicted correspond to species recognized today as the Long-eared Owl (Asio otus), shown prominently with its upright posture and distinct ear tufts; the Tawny Owl (Strix aluco), represented in both its grey-brown form and its warmer rufous color morph; the Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus), identifiable by its paler facial disc and reduced ear tufts; the small but expressive Little Owl (Athene noctua); and a larger, more powerfully built owl commonly identified as the Eurasian Eagle-Owl (*Bubo bubo*), included to demonstrate contrast in scale and form. Each bird is depicted perched on a branch against a neutral ground, allowing close observation of plumage texture, facial structure, and stance. The hand-applied coloring enhances the naturalistic effect, particularly in the subtle gradations of brown, grey, cream, and rust tones characteristic of owl plumage. The bilingual German and French headings reflect the international scholarly audience for whom such plates were produced during this period of expanding scientific exchange. Plates like this were originally issued in ornithological volumes intended for scholars, collectors, and educated amateurs. Today they are valued both for their scientific relevance and their decorative appeal. The balanced composition of six distinct species on a single sheet makes this print especially attractive to collectors of natural history, bird enthusiasts, and interior designers seeking refined, nature-inspired wall art. Condition report: Good condition. Original hand coloring. Noticeable age toning and patina throughout, with scattered foxing and light surface marks consistent with age. Minor edge wear and small discolorations visible. No modern restoration observed. Framing tips: This print is well suited to a classic museum-style presentation. A soft ivory or light beige mat will complement the aged paper and muted coloration, paired with a medium walnut, light oak, or ebonized frame depending on the desired contrast. UV-protective glazing is recommended to preserve the original hand coloring.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene – Antique German Chromolithograph, c. 1895 This striking late 19th-century German chromolithograph depicts the moving biblical moment in which the risen Christ appears to Mary Magdalene following the Resurrection. Christ is shown standing in quiet majesty, halo radiant with divine light, His right hand placed gently over His heart in a gesture of compassion and reassurance. Mary Magdalene kneels before Him with deep devotion, her long flowing hair and rich garments emphasizing both humility and reverence. The composition is set within a tranquil garden landscape, traditionally associated with the Resurrection narrative, reinforcing the spiritual symbolism of rebirth, forgiveness, and divine mercy. Christ’s red tunic and deep blue mantle radiate warmth and solemnity, while the soft golden halo creates a luminous focal point that draws the eye immediately to His face. This scene, known in Christian tradition as *Noli Me Tangere* (“Touch Me Not”), represents one of the most emotionally powerful moments of the Gospel story. It became a highly favored subject in Catholic devotional art of the late 19th century, commonly displayed in prayer corners, chapels, religious schools, and family interiors. Produced using high-quality chromolithography, this print achieves exceptional painterly depth, with delicate shading in the flesh tones, refined folds in the drapery, and beautifully layered landscape colors. The gold highlights of the halos and the saturated reds and blues are especially well preserved, reflecting the superior production standards of German devotional publishers during this period. This is a visually commanding and spiritually meaningful artwork, highly desirable for Catholic collectors, sacred art interiors, and serious devotional art collections. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition overall. Light, even age toning to the paper consistent with late 19th-century chromolithographs. Minor edge wear and very gentle corner softening visible upon close inspection. No major stains, no tears, and no restoration observed. Colors remain strong and vivid. FRAMING TIPS This print will display beautifully in a classic gilt or softly antiqued gold wooden frame to echo the sacred halo tones. For a more restrained interior, a dark walnut or black lacquer frame with a wide ivory mat and museum glass will create a dramatic devotional presentation.
