The Bremen Town Musicians (Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten), preparatory drawing for print, "Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten," in Alfred Kubin, Abenteuer einer Zeichenfeder (Münich: R. Piper & Co., 1941) #13

Artist

Alfred Kubin

Physical Description

To the right, four animals - a donkey, goat, cat, and rooster - appear stacked upon one another in a barely sketched-in window. On the left side, four figures sit at what appears to be a meal in a dinning room, with a soup tureen and various dishes. The image is hastily sketched and few details are absolutely readable, other than basic shapes.

Physical Description

Line drawing in felt tip marker on ivory ~ 10x13” paper with shading. Woman’s arm and dress and the cash register are partially filled in with black, as well as a pane of the stained glass window that she holds.
