Unidentified depiction 

This pencil sketch, housed in the Städel Museum, is a preliminary study by German artist Eugen Klimsch. The fragmented and gestural lines suggest an initial exploration of form and composition, perhaps for a larger painting or sculpture. The artwork's lack of clear subject matter and the artist's focus on line and structure highlight the preliminary nature of the work and provide a glimpse into Klimsch's artistic process. This study offers insight into the creative process of a 19th-century artist, revealing the stages of development that lead to a finished piece.
