Philipp von Foltz as a wasp killer, 1850er Jahre
About the object
Foltz then competes in terms of bravery with the Brothers Grimm Valliant Little Tailor as a killer of wasps. However he is only able to kill three of the giant wasps, as the inscription on the right reveals. Equipped with a sketchbook and drawing utensils, wildly swinging his hiking stick around, he flees his insect persecutors.
