Authentische Arbeiten Johann Wolfgang von Goethes sind und waren auf dem internationalen Kunstmarkt außerordentlich selten. Ein Aquarell von seiner Hand, noch dazu mit eigenhändiger Beschreibung der dargestellten Landschaft und darüber hinaus einer Bestätigung Alexander von Humboldts (ein Autograph im besten Sinne), darf man zweifellos eine Rarität nennen.
Als die Großmutter der heutigen Eigentümerin das Blatt 1957 in Weimar vorstellte, nahm es Gerhard Fremmel in das eben begonnene Werkverzeichnis (den sogenannten »Corpus der Goethezeichnungen«) erfreut und begeistert auf. Schon damals gab es keinerlei Zweifel an der Authentizität des Aquarells.
