Notes

A preparatory sketch in graphite for this composition is in the Städel Museum, see F. Carey, `The Reinvention of the Past: Testaments of Friendship and of Faith` in G. Bartrum (ed.), exhib.cat., BM, London, `German Romantic prints and drawings from an English private collection`, 2011, p.47, fig.14, and K. Gallwitz (ed.), exhib.cat., Städelschen Kunstmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, `Die Nazarener`, 1977, p.199, no.E 41). The subject is described in the latter entry: the eagle is the symbol of St John the Evangelist and thus Friedrich Johannes [= John] Overbeck. The roundel on the parapet (unclear in the present lithograph) contains the initials P O P standing for Passavant, Overbeck, Pforr - a trinity of artists whose binding friendship is summoned in the embracing women. The roundel and date of 1808 are contained in an outline drawing close to the present composition also in the Städel Museum (Frankfurt 1977, op.cit., pp.199-200, no.E 42).
