J. TISCHBEIN (*1742), In the stables, Aquatint Johann Heinrich Tischbein jun. (1742 Haina - 1808 Kassel): In the horse stable Stable boy feeding the horses, 18th century, Aquatint Technique: Aquatint on Paper Date: 18th century Description: Probably from one of the experimental series with different etching techniques from the years 1785 and 1789. The aquatint etching shows the possibilities of two-dimensional representation, for example of shadows, and the contrasts with incident light that can be created in this way. The dark horse stable is only illuminated by the open door. Through this door a stable boy comes to the two horses and brings them food. Proof before the typeface, Avant la lettre.
