The present nine watercolors were created by the German genre painter Jakob Fürchtegott Dielmann. The nine paintings show different, always idyllic motifs in the delicate coloring which is so characteristic for Jakob Dielmann. Small scale images with children, grandmothers and Schwälmer costumes were a popular subject of the artist. The identically matted and framed watercolors make a charming collection of his oeuvre.
