materials used are in keeping with works signed by David Heidenreich. The
stylistic presentation of the drawings, the identical writing character of the
author’s inscriptions still visible on many of the drawings, as well as the
almost identical format and, most likely local, source of paper upon which the
drawings were completed further link these works to Heidenreich. Together
the pieces make up one of the largest collections of drawings by the Silesian
artist of the Renaissance and Mannerist periods.
This collection ascribed to Heidenreich comprises twenty works scattered
throughout various collections. Of these, at least nine have some renderings
1. D. Heidenreich,

and Laying into
the Grave, Berlin,
