GERARD FITREMAN 2 ABSTRACT ETCHINGS OREILLE II & TREFLE I SIGNED NUMBERED

Rare, more then 200 years old, large original preparatory drawing depicting the entrance of the Buddha into nirvana (Nehan-zu) 涅槃図.
Shakyamuni Buddha lies on a platform with his head leaning on his right arm, and with its eyes peacefully closed. Shakyamuni faces westward in a final trance after a long life of teaching.  To the top right, the mother of Shakyamuni, Maya, stands on a floating cloud mourning the death of her son. On her cloud, she is accompanied by three attendees. She is led by the monk Aniruddha, who stands on a floating cloud in front of her.
Grieving, crying and lamenting beings are grouped closely around the death bed; his students are in close proximity, followed by Bodhisattva, deities, demons and kings of heaven. Surrounding its death bed, in between the different beings, are sala trees. In the lower area, all different kinds of animals and mythical creatures, small and big, grieve in their imperfect understanding of the Buddhist ideal.
Very good condition overall.
