Jacob Schülein is a forgotten German-Jewish master who worked in the first half of the 20th century. This charming sketch (water color and pen and ink) depicts a suspension bridge leading into what appears to be a provincial city. The peaceful scene has been rendered with a remarkable efficiency of stroke. The sketch has been signed (J.W. Schülein) and dated (16) in ink on the lower right corner. It is in fine condition with a reflattened corner on the upper left that has a residual straight stain.
