This ink drawing titled "Einseitig aber ist der Mann, _ Der's nicht mit beiden Händen kann" by Wilhelm Busch, dated 1871, depicts a man with one arm raised above his head, holding a pair of dumbbells. The man is shown from the back, with his legs spread and his body contorted in an exaggerated manner. This humorous depiction of physical strength and limitations is a characteristic feature of Busch's satirical work. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum, where it is considered a prime example of German caricature and social commentary of the 19th century.
