Vorentwurf Seidenbild
1915
From the collection of Archaeology and Museum Baselland
Vorentwurf Seidenbild is a 1915 by Unknown, depicting Ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This drawing looks like a fancy coat of arms. At the top, two arches frame empty spaces, and a flame sits between them. Below, a shield with swirls and a crown is flanked by two circles—one with a ship, the other with a face. The bottom banner reads "1914 COTTNIVS 1915." The face in the circle looks like a portrait, but it’s blurry. The ship in the other circle is simple, with no details. The whole thing feels like a sketch for something bigger. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
