“Rabe”
“Probably pen and ink drawing hand coloured”
Attributed to forgotten Schleswig-Holsteins painter, drawer and printmaker Elisabeth Marten (see the accompanying biographies book). Not a woodblock but nevertheless a spectacular and very Japanese work. Not much is known about her career and life other than her father was a Kiel pianist, teacher and music school director and she stayed faithful to her native city of Kiel all her life.
