      Otto Friedrich Wolff (1855 Oschatz - 1940 München), The Child Murderer, 19th century, Charcoal Technique: Charcoal on paper Size: 34,4 x 52 cm | 13 1/2 x 20 1/2 in Inscription: lower right inscribed and signed: "Kindsmörderin. O. Wolff Oschatz" Condition: Good original condition, paper originally mounted on cardboard, paper with small tears at the edges. Paper browned. Description: As a literary motif, the child murderer has achieved sad fame, not least through Goethe's Faust. But we certainly do not see Gretchen in this portrayal, who in Goethe's drama finally attains divine redemption. No, this child murderer, who still cradled her infant in her arms in remorse, is pulled into the fire by winged demons. Whether purgatory as the destination for the probably unbaptized child, or hell for the poor sinner is uncertain here.

      Est: €500 - €700

      Otto Friedrich Wolff (1855 Oschatz - 1940 München), Angel of Revenge, 1896, Charcoal Technique: Charcoal on paper Size: 34,4 x 51,9 cm | 13 1/2 x 20 1/2 in Inscription: lower left inscribed: "Böse Geschwister", lower right signed and dated: "Wolff 6/1. 96" Condition: Good original condition, paper originally mounted on cardboard, paper with small tears at the edges. Paper browned. Description: The term "evil siblings" immediately brings to mind the famous pair of brothers Cain and Abel, whom the artist, who has mainly used biblical motifs, shows here. But the biblical narrative of this first murder in history tells of Cain's murder out of envy of his younger brother Abel. The fact that there is talk here of two "evil" ones at any rate leaves room for wide speculation. Even the figure of an angel disappearing in the thick smoke doesn't quite fit into this story and has to be interpreted specially.
