Mark: "Sammlung Scharfen". unknown. 20th century Date: 19th century Description: The artist Oskar Pletsch was known for his children's book illustrations. The book "Die Kinderstube in 36 Bildern" was his first great success. It illustrates the life of children in many facets: carefree at play or proudly helping with housework. From then until 1881, another children's book appeared in annual succession. For the illustration of his figures, observing his own children was inspiring and a good school. The present sketch shows children playing in the garden. A bigger one of the group has climbed over the fence and is standing on a water trough. The smaller ones want to follow him and call out, see caption: "May we come along!". Oskar Pletsch studied at the Dresden Art Academy and was a pupil of Ludwig Richter. Richter's influence is unmistakable in Pletsch's drawings and woodcuts. From Richter's late romanticism he finally developed his own genre painting, which concentrated especially on everyday and family motifs.
