拍品专文

According to the Artistischen Notizenblatt (vol. xix, 1822), Carus concieved of this painting on a trip to the Alps, making sketches whilst staying at the Sennenhütte on St. Gotthard, Switzerland. A preparatory pencil study for this painting, probably made on this trip, titled Zwei Adler auf der Felsenspitze, is in the collection of the Kupferstichkabinett Dresden.

We are grateful to Prof. Dr. Helmut Börsch-Supan for his help in the preparation of this catalogue entry.
