HAAG, Carl (1820-1915). Anatomical drawing of foot. Nuremberg, 1837. Graphite, red and black pencil on paper, signed and dated in pencil lower right. 415 x 520 mm. Born and trained in Germany, Haag worked first as an illustrator and painter of portraits and architectural subjects. In 1847 he settled in England where he concentrated on water colors, and was elected to the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours. Haag was a preeminent 19th century watercolorist and traveler, one of the most famous Orientalists of his day. He was the first artist to paint the Dome of The Rock in 1859 at the request of Queen Victoria and with the permission of the Pasha of Egypt. He did so under heavily armed guard. In addition he chronicled the Bedouins throughout five deserts. His works are in many museums, including the Victoria and Albert, at Bristol, Leeds, and Manchester, at Erlangen and Oberwesel, Germany, and in the Jordan National Gallery (Amman) and the Israel Museum (Jerusalem).
