About the Item
Title: 19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Duel with Ornate Shields and Daggers
Description: This vivid and dynamic hand-coloured lithograph showcases two knights poised for combat, each wielding intricate spiked shields and sharp daggers. It is part of the 1842 publication 'Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums' by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch, with historical annotations by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp. This exceptional work captures the grandeur and ritualized combat associated with Medieval knighthood.
The knights' armour is masterfully detailed, featuring bold yellow, red, and blue highlights that reflect the artistry of 19th-century Romantic depictions of chivalry. Their shields are particularly striking: the knight on the left bears a tall, red shield with dramatic edges, while the figure on the right carries an ornate blue shield with intricate swirling patterns. The poised weapons and combative stances add a sense of readiness and tension, enhanced by the expert shading and crisp details.
Condition: This lithograph is in very good condition, with beautifully preserved hand-colouring and minimal signs of aging. The clean margins and vibrant hues make this a standout piece, ideal for collectors of historical art, Medieval themes, or knightly traditions.
A striking addition to any collection, this print offers a unique blend of historical authenticity and visual drama, perfect for display in a curated gallery or private collection.
