About the Item

Humorous Portrait of a Woman in Black Dress with Whimsical Pots, c. 1900 This intriguing artwork captures a woman in an exaggerated, almost theatrical pose, dressed in a striking black ensemble. The portrait, rendered in a lively style typical of turn-of-the-century illustration, is surrounded by a surreal array of pots and vessels that seem to float in the air, adding a sense of whimsy and humor to the composition. The bold brushstrokes and dashes of color lend a dynamic energy to the image, giving it a vibrant, modern feel. This piece bears the signatures of the artist P. Scharlach and illustrator A. Bong, along with the humorous title “Cousin, bist Du da?” (“Cousin, are you there?”), adding a playful narrative element. The illustration style suggests it was created for a publication or periodical, possibly as a satirical or lighthearted commentary on contemporary life and social conventions. The woman’s mischievous expression and dramatic posture, coupled with the floating pots, create a visual story that feels both timeless and slightly absurd. Her sideways glance and half-hidden smile invite viewers to join in the joke, making this an engaging addition to any collection of humorous or illustrative art. Condition Report: This lithograph is in good antique condition with minimal foxing and gentle toning throughout. The colors remain vibrant and the details are crisp, offering a lively and well-preserved impression. Tips for framing: To highlight the playful energy of the piece, consider a simple white or off-white mat and a slender black or natural wood frame. This will let the bold brushstrokes and vivid colors truly stand out.
