Two Dietzch watercolors on vellum, one signed, lower right: Barbara Regina Dietzschin. Published: Nuremburg 1760 Medium: Watercolor on vellum over gold leaf applied on geso. Barbara Regina Dietzch (1706-1783) was one of the first woman artists and developed a technique of watercolor over gold leaf on vellum that had never been attempted before. She had a considerable influence over many still life natural history artists of the period and her watercolors were strongly collected during her lifetime by her fellow artists. |
