HUBERT VON HERKOMER (GERMAN 1849-1914) THE CAVALIER signed with initials and dated 1879 lower left watercolour 52 x 33cm; 20 1/2 x 13in 76 x 56cm; 30 x 22in (framed) Sold with a letter from the artist dated 23rd August 1888 sent from Mutterturm, Landesberg am Lech in Bavaria addressed to My dear Bishop. In it Herkomer discusses the recent death of his father, and his own imminent marriage to take place on 2nd September 'in my own Tower'. Herkomer constructed his neo-Gothic tower between 1884-88 very much as a gesamtkunstwerk in a romantic Wagnerian style in memory of his mother. Complete with turrets and carved and crafted fixtures and fittings, it is now the centre piece of the Herkomer museum which features his work.
