Essay on Stone with Brush and Scraper: Title Page

Adolph von Menzel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a title page with a central illustration. The illustration features a woman and a winged creature on a base. The woman, on the right, wears a long dress; her left arm extends toward the creature. The creature, on the left, has wings and holds a scraper or similar tool. The woman and creature grasp a long, thin object, likely a pencil, between them. The object's point rests on a flat surface. The title, curved above the illustration in large letters, reads "Pinsel und Schabeisen", with smaller text above it. The text below the illustration reads "von Adolph Menzel. Heft 1. (6 Blätter). Berlin, 1851." Additional small text appears at the bottom. The background of the title page is off-white.
