Thoma, Hans (1839 Bernau - Karlsruhe 1924). Flag bearer. Oil and brush over pencil on paper on pressboard, (18)92. 42.7 x 28.5/29 cm. Monogrammed (ligatured) and dated lower right. In the original frame. Slightly varied version of the painting illustrated in Thode, Klassiker der Kunst, Hans Thoma, 1909 p. 362 above, which Thoma painted on wood. It is one of several works on the theme of the love garden. "And on to the heroic fighters, the knights in armor. Whither of the way, ye lonely horsemen, what deeds are there to work, do ye bring protection to innocence (p. 297, 309, 372)? Will you slay the dragon in the forest (pp. 227, 299, 482)? Beware of magic, dainty gods of love will lead you to lonely beauties by the stream (p. 450)! But be sure: the sleep of the weary will be guarded by fair forest maidens (p. 232, 379). Until you reach the goal of your wanderings! You to the garden of love, whose sunny bliss you will faithfully guard together with the lion (pp. 319, 327, 328), defying temptations (pp. 362, 394)". Thode 1909, p. LVIII.
