EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Sophie Reinhard, titled 'The Little Witch' from 'Zehn Blätter zu Hebels Alemannischen Gedichten' (Ten Leaves of Hebel's Alemannic Poems), dates back to the 19th century. The image, depicting two figures - a man and a woman, both dressed in traditional German attire, is taken from a series of illustrations based on the poems of Johann Peter Hebel. The man, with a serious expression, sits on the ground, gazing intently at the woman, who is seated in front of him, her back turned. She is depicted as a little witch, holding a fruit basket on her lap. Her long, curly hair is tied up in a bun, and she wears a pointed hat adorned with a crescent moon and stars. The man and the woman seem to be in deep conversation, their eyes locked, creating an intriguing and mysterious scene. The etching, created on cream wove paper, is a beautiful example of the intricate and detailed drawings that were popular during the 19th century. The use of black and white contrasts effectively highlights the textures and intricacies of the clothing and the basket, adding depth and dimension to the image. The dialect poetry of Hebel, which was popular in Germany during this time, was known for its vivid imagery and storytelling. Reinhard's illustrations brought these poems to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era and offering a glimpse into the culture and heritage of Germany during the 19th century. This etching, with its intriguing scene and historical significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in the art, literature, and history of the 19th century. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within the pages of our history books and the importance of preserving and celebrating it through art.
