Sitzender Putto. Rötel auf Van der Ley-Bütten. Beschriftet "Prof. Wach", nicht dat. (um 1830). 37,7 x 24,1 cm. (155) - - Feine Zeichnung eines seitlich sitzenden Putto mit erhobenem Arm, den Blick Richtung Betrachter gerichtet. Das elegante Blatt ist der Liebe des Klassizismus zur Linie verpflichtet und läßt klar den Einfluß der Ausbildung Wachs bei den großen französischen Klassizisten Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) und Antoine-Jean Gros (1771-1835) erkennen. Wilhelm Wach, der ab 1827 Hofmaler in Berlin war, unterhielt in seinem durch König Friedrich Wilhelm II. zur Verfügung gestellten Atelier eine sehr erfolgreiche Schule, durch die er bald mit dem Titel Professor geehrt wurde. - Bei der Namensnennung am Unterrand der Zeichnung handelt es sich wahrscheinlich eher um eine spätere Beschriftung als um eine Signatur.
