German artist s happy depiction of a 19th Century Christmas Eve

German artist’s happy depiction of a 19th Century Christmas Eve © Supplied by Dreweatts Auctions A strange Christmas for all of us, so I am pleased to show a joyful, traditional scene. Titled Christmas Eve, by the German artist Carle Rumpf, the picture might be termed folk art, a genre that gives many of the works an immediacy and playfulness, while often disregarding accepted ideas of scale and perspective. This charming depiction of a happy and bountiful Christmas Eve was most probably painted in Frankfurt in 1821 and shows the European custom of celebrating Christmas Eve with presents. Norman Watson. Two hundred years on, my friend Katrin will be doing exactly that in Berlin on Thursday. A Happy Christmas to her.

Rare photograph of Karnak once graced Dundee’s first ever photographic exhibition © Supplied by Norman Watson from D Today’s image is an important and rare photograph which once graced the first-ever photographic exhibition in Dundee – which, itself, was one of the first in the world.

Taken around 1853-54, this salted paper print shows the Obelisk left centre with carved hieroglyphics, with columns and ruins behind. The print measures 9 x 7 inches. It is neatly mounted on an album page and inscribed, ‘The Great Obelisk at Karnak.’ It is to be sold together with a half-length portrait of Peter Hinckes Bird from the mid-1850s.
