EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Johann Christoph Erhard, a talented German artist from Nuremberg. Created in 1817, this etching titled "Tobacco Smoker" is a remarkable representation of life during that era. The print captures the essence of a gentleman indulging in his pipe, enveloped in an atmosphere of relaxation and contemplation. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as Erhard skillfully portrays the intricate folds of clothing and the delicate wisps of smoke swirling around the smoker's face. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and introspection, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this intimate moment frozen in time. Etchings are known for their rich textures and depth, achieved through an intricate process involving acid biting into metal plates. This particular print belongs to the third state plate, indicating its refinement over multiple iterations by Erhard himself or other skilled craftsmen. Measuring at 4 1/4 x 3 13/16 inches, this small yet impactful piece exemplifies Erhard's mastery as an artist. His ability to capture human emotion with such precision demonstrates why he was highly regarded during his lifetime. Although little is known about Ferdinand Kettner beyond being credited as inspiration for this work, it is clear that his influence played a significant role in shaping Erhard's artistic vision. This print from Liszt Collection allows art enthusiasts to appreciate and own a piece of history while marveling at Johann
