German - Adam & Eve
This extraordinary unframed German sampler stands out from most, both in scale and its profuse number of classic
design motifs. The dominate Adam & Eve motif is surrounded with symbolic ecclesiastical motifs, crowns, and
domestic motifs such as a chest on stand, chairs, a lady spinning with a drop spindle, dogs, birds, flowers, ships,
monkey, stag, etc. Inscribed within a cartouche held by two winged angles are the initials IDR and IRSP and the
date 1799. STEPHEN & CAROL HUBER |
