Diorama with five wings, numbered 119.1 to 119.4, which together form a view of a festive meal during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot).
Germany, Circa 1730-1740. Hand colored.
Frieze: part of a vaulted ceiling with a cartouche in the middle with the text: Juedisches Lauberhuetten Fest. Fete des Tabernacles. Backdrop: to the right and left, part of a wall with a doorway in front and a rococo mirror behind it. On stage left a man in 18th century clothes with wig and stitch on his head and on stage right a woman with behind her a man with wig.
Engraving; watercolor; paper and cardboard gluings. A unique "pop-up" engraving, colored by hand,
Very Rare!
This diorama is made of five layers: each layer consists of an engraving (apparently the engravings were printed especially for this diorama), mounted on a cardboard sheet. The cardboard sheets are meant to be put on top of each other, which creates the three-dimensional effect.
Good overall condition. Lacking several small pieces.
