Georg Osterwald, The Father's Grave This depiction of a crusader before a grave is based on a drawing by Caspar Scheuren (1810-1887) from 1865. A drawing by Georg Osterwald follows this prototype almost exactly, except that the sarcophagus has been changed from a double grave to a single one, and this drawing is of the exact composition also used for this work. A further painting with this design was mistakenly ascribed to Carl Gustav Carus and auctioned by Christie's in 1994 (London, 13.10.1994, lot 11).We would like to thank Professor Helmut Börsch-Supan (Berlin) for his assistance in cataloguing this work. 38 x 48 cm
