About the Item

Title: Knight of the Order of the Bath: 18th-Century Engraving by Schwan Description: This striking hand-colored engraving features the "Ritter des Ordens vom Bade" (Knight of the Order of the Bath), a renowned British chivalric order. The figure is richly attired in ceremonial dress, including a deep red cape, vibrant magenta tunic, and the distinguished star insignia of the order. He holds a hat and sword, emblematic of his knightly rank, and exudes an air of regal elegance. This artwork is part of Christian Friedrich Schwan’s esteemed series "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden welche eine eigene Ordenskleidung haben," published in Mannheim between 1779 and 1791. Schwan’s work is celebrated for its meticulous detail and historical accuracy, documenting the attire and insignias of various chivalric orders with exceptional artistry. This engraving captures the splendor and prestige of the Order of the Bath, which has its roots in medieval England and symbolizes honor and service. Condition: Good condition with bright, vivid hand-coloring. Minor age-related toning and minimal edge wear are present, consistent with its age. Frame Tip: To complement the vivid reds and magenta, choose a gold or bronze frame paired with a cream or light beige mat board. This combination will enhance the engraving’s vibrant color palette while maintaining a classic, sophisticated presentation. This exceptional piece is perfect for collectors of chivalric art, British history enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to the grand traditions of European orders. Its historical significance and visual appeal make it a valuable addition to any collection or decorative setting.
