Maler mit Zipfelmütze, vom Rücken gesehen, vor der Staffelei sitzend 

Gottlieb Welté’s "Maler mit Zipfelmütze, vom Rücken gesehen, vor der Staffelei sitzend" is a graphite drawing that captures a painter in a moment of artistic creation. This simple yet poignant work shows the artist viewed from behind, seated before a canvas on an easel. Welté's meticulous details, including the artist's clothing and the tools of his trade, suggest a dedication to craft and a desire to document the creative process itself. The composition and subject matter are reminiscent of traditional studio art, offering a glimpse into the world of the painter in the late 18th century. The Städel Museum houses this artwork, giving art lovers a chance to appreciate Welté's talent for capturing the essence of artistic expression.
