Description&#13;
1 drawing :&#13;
The artist shows sutures where the breasts have been removed. Three Bavarian passers-by are open-mouthed with astonishment. The drawing and its pair apparently refer to the war memorial in the Marktplatz at Prien am Chiemsee, Bavaria, including a sculpture of Saint Catherine of Alexandria sculpted by Friedrich Lommel in 1923. That figure of Saint Catherine is similar to the present figure of Germania, though there are also many differences. The Lex Heinze (referred to in the lettering for the companion drawing) was a German law passed in 1900 forbidding unseemly or obscene representations in public places. The lettering implies that a Dr Casselmann spoke in favour of the law in the Bavarian parliament (Bayerischer Landtag): Dr. jur. Leopold Casselmann (1858-1930, from 1907 Ritter von Casselmann), mayor of Bayreuth 1900-1918, was minister of justice for Bavaria 1918-1919&#13;
