A great group of three 19th century hand colored lithographs
All these are made by the same engraver:
Franz Seraph Hanfstaengl (Germany, 1804-1877) a Bavarian painter, lithographer, and photographer. Nicknamed «Count Litho», Hanfstaengl gained popularity by producing lithographic portraits of Munich society. In 1833, he founded his own lithographic establishment in Munich, which he ran until 1868, and to which he later added an art print shop and, in 1853, a photographic studio. Between 1835 and 1852, Franz Hanfstaengl produced some 200 lithographic reproductions of masterpieces from the Dresden picture gallery. Later he became a court photographer and took portraits of the young King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Otto von Bismarck, the Austrian Empress Elisabeth and many others.
Two of the presented here images are after Jean Baptiste Joseph Pater (French,1695-1736), whose paintings are part of many major art galleries, including the Metropolitan Museum and the National Gallery of Art, among others.
These are the Commedia Dell'Arte scenes: "Arlequin et Pierrot" and the French Rococo " Fete Champetre" - Garden Party
The third lithograph - "Menuet" is rendered after Nicolas Lancret (French, 1690-1743), a brilliant depicter of light comedy which reflected the tastes and manners of 18th century French society
All three pictures are presented in matching wooden frames with off-white matting, under glass ready for display. The mounting was made by Krause, a New York atelier, possibly in the first half/mid of the 20th century.
