In 1801, when Kant was already 76 years old, the talented German master of neoclassicism Carl Friedrich Hagemann came at the insistence of his teacher, sculptor Johann Shadow, to make a bust of the genius. But the beautiful Silesian marble bust was not the artist's only masterpiece. He also did a caricature of Kant in which the great philosopher mixes mustard for dinner. The sketch, made in small strokes, touchingly conveys the idea of how Kant looked in old age. Though it is unlikely that he mixed mustard for his companions in old age since there was a servant and a cook for this. In addition, the great thinker was not particularly tempted in household chores. On the other hand, Johann Gottfried Hasse, a professor of theology, remarked that Kant had actually cooked English mustard himself.
Now a digital copy of this painting is on display in the exposition of the Kant Museum «Pastor's House» in the village of Veselovka in the Chernyakhovsky district of the Kaliningrad region.
