"Three Archers, " Large and Important Etching w/ Male Nudes by Wolfsfeld
About the Item
A large, rare and important etching with superb detail and unusual subject matter, this view of three nude male archers, one drawing his bow, another supplying the arrows, and another reclining and watching the arrows fly, was made by Erich Wolfsfeld in 1910. The etching, which captures the musculature and other details of each figure with remarkable texture and faithfulness, won a gold medal in Berlin, a few years after Wolfsfeld moved back to Germany after studying in Italy. The artist was a follower of Adolph von Menzel and became good friends with Otto Greiner and Max Klinger. Starting in 1916 he taught at the Vereinigten Staatsschulen für Freie und Angewandte Kunst, and was known for etchings of nudes and exotic subjects. In the 1930s, the rise of the Nazis caused him to leave for England, where he became a respected portrait painter. This etching is rare, and in this large format especially so.
