Text in German. Collection of five original drawings of Santos, Brazil. The drawings depict maritime scenes with ships and harbors. There are five leaves of drawings total. Two of the leaves have two compositions to make seven scenes total. Artist's signature in pencil on each drawing. Titles are handwritten in German below each scene, presumably by the artist. No date, circa 1926. 8 3/4" x 5 1/2." Drawings are virtually pristine and intact except for slight age toning to paper and a few subtle indentations and wrinkles not affecting the drawn portions. Each drawing is Fine and Fine as an entire collection. A collection of five beautiful drawings done in meticulous and fine detail. Marks, shading, and coloring are executed with finesse. With the exception of one, all scenes are in color. The media used for the drawings appear to be pencil, colored pencil, and pastel.
