About the Item
Charming 19th-Century Lithograph – “Die Herzensschalerin” by A. Schwarz, c. 1895
This delightful color lithograph, titled “Die Herzensschalerin” (The Heart Peeler), was created by A. Schwarz in the late 19th century. Published by Richard Bong in Berlin as part of the influential series *Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten* (Modern Art in Master Woodcuts), this charming print captures a lighthearted scene steeped in both whimsy and a touch of romantic symbolism.
The composition features a beautiful woman dressed in a bright green gown, her dark hair in soft curls, peeling the outer layers of a heart-shaped fruit. She is watched with curiosity by a cherubic putto, whose wings and playful expression lend the scene a mythological feel. A tray filled with peeled fruits lies nearby, suggesting a gentle commentary on love and desire.
The lighthearted humor and delicate beauty of this scene are brought to life by Schwarz’s fine lithographic technique. The careful shading and harmonious color palette – from the vibrant green of the woman’s dress to the warm tones of the putto’s wings – make this piece a perfect example of late 19th-century German illustration.
As part of the celebrated *Meister-Holzschnitten* series, this work is not only a testament to Schwarz’s artistry but also a glimpse into the era’s playful approach to romance and symbolism. For collectors of antique prints or lovers of mythological and genre scenes, “Die Herzensschalerin” offers a delightful addition to any collection.
