Getting started with the collection:
Eight Men and Women in Front of a Shop Window, Seen from Behind
Adam Adolf Oberländer (signed by artist), 1877
In this preliminary drawing for a print, a group of men and women gaze in fascination at a large work of art. But what is there to see? The clever composition, with the picture mostly hidden behind hats and coats, leaves us guessing. A print after this drawing appeared in Münchener Fliegende Blätter, a humorous German weekly magazine.
