Wilhelm Rietschel, born in 1911, created a delicate pencil drawing titled "Nude of a sitting boy". This life drawing showcases a young boy, rendered with subtle shading and contours, seated in a relaxed, yet slightly tense posture. Rietschel's focus on the human form, evident in this study, is characteristic of his artistic practice. This piece is currently housed in the Städel Museum, making it accessible for art enthusiasts to observe and appreciate.
