Monumentally important German philosopher (1844–1900) whose writings influenced legions of major figures across the entire spectrum of philosophy, politics, and culture, including Richard Strauss, Sigmund Freud, George Bernard Shaw, and Adolf Hitler. Original unsigned ink and pencil sketch of what appears to be a faceless human form in a ship, with one hand on their hip and the other hand resting atop a shield with a Swiss cross, on a 2.75 x 4.5 off-white heavy stock sheet. Reverse bears what appears to be an outline for Nietzsche’s planned drawing. In very good condition, with small horizontal tear to lower right edge, and some scattered light wrinkling and soiling. Originally from the personal collection of Zev Golan, author of God, Man, and Nietzsche.
This drawing of woman and ship was drawn by Nietzsche the week after being taken to an asylum in January 1889. The reverse also bears an unsigned pencil notation on the reverse by Dr. Luxemberg, attesting that the great philosopher drew this during the week he was in a Basel sanitarium (January 10-17, 1889). The drawing has appeared in several authoritative books, including the Nietzsche Chronicle, a German volume listing everything the man did day by day. Perhaps the last intelligible communication of Nietzsche!
