Friedrich
Wilhelm Bollinger (1777 Berlin - 1825 ibid.), Friedrich bey Kollin after a
model by Carl Friedrich Hampe, 1796. Etching from the series Scenes from the
Seven Years' War, 15 cm x 22.4 cm (image), 41.5 cm x 43.5 cm (frame),
attractively framed with passe-partout under glass.
- Slightly foxed, mounted with some warping, frame partially rubbed
After the first defeat of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) in Kollin, Bohemia, inflicted on the Prussians by the Austrian field marshal Leopold Joseph von Daun, Frederick the Great sits on a bench and reflects on the situation in view of the dead and wounded, symbolized by the soldier opposite him. The bench on which the king sits is also a fountain, representing the king's constantly flowing intellectual power, as he draws new plans in the sand with his cane.
