German Renaissance polychrome painted plaster work, (1898). Figs 1-10: Portions of the painted wood ceiling in the knights'-hall of the Castle at Heiligenberg. Fig 11: Console-figure from the arcades of the former "Lusthaus" at Stuttgart. Figs 12 and 13: Scutcheons carved from peartree-wood in the Museum vaterländischer Altertümer at the same place, being part of the former furniture of a hunting-chamber belonging to the family Besserer at Ulm. Carved stags-heads with rare attires are fixed in the oval nombrils...The female figure in Fig 11 represents Ursula, by birth Countess Palatine by Rhine, consort of Duke Lewis [Ludwig], the builder of the "Lusthaus". In the "Lusthaus" however, which unfortunately exists no more, another figure stood on the represented console, the coat of arms referring to that. At one time about 50 such console-figures decorated the arcades surrounding those gorgeous buildings'. Plate 72 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
