Perspective sketch for a brown and blue tiled stove

People:

Paul Goesch (draughtsman)

Title:

Perspective sketch for a brown and blue tiled stove

Date:

circa 1920-1921

Description:

- Design for a tall, rectangular tiled stove, decorated with two blue horizontal bands against a brown background. The two yellow rectangles, near the top and bottom, probably represent the stove doors.
- The subject of this drawing is identified as a tiled stove by the inscription "Ofen" (stove). This inscription, probably by the draughtsman, occurs on several of the drawings in the group DR1988:0155 - DR1988:0209, as does the inscription "Kachelofen" (tiled stove). Henze illustrates examples of "Kachelofen" which are similar to this one in size and proportion (fig. 105, p.98 and fig. 114, p.103).
