Author Dunker, Balthasar Anton 1746 Saal b/Stralsund - Bern  1807 
Title Idyllische Landschaft/ Idyllic Landscape
Description Signed and dated "Dunker 1780". 40,3:39,5 cm.
Beautiful, painting-like drawing of an Arcadian landscape: In the foreground a nymph and a satyr and an amphora hanging from a tree. A procession of bacchants is approaching the scene from the background. Dunker originated from Pomerania and settled in Bern in 1773 for the rest of his life, as a watercolourist, engraver, illustrator, and poet. His stylish landscape drawings range from a gallant style of the Rococo period to one of melancholic, early Romanticism in his late works. Affixed on strong paper because of a vertical cut throughout in the left third.
