Halbrunde Wandvorlage mit Cherubim-Konsole 

This pencil drawing by Karl Ballenberger, a German artist active in the first half of the 19th century, depicts a cherub holding a book or a plaque. The drawing is likely a design for a decorative element, potentially for a wall or a piece of furniture. The cherub's delicate features and the detailed rendering of its wings and drapery are typical of the artist's style, characterized by meticulous detail and a focus on classical forms. The Städel Museum, where the drawing is housed, is a prominent repository of German art, making this work a valuable contribution to the museum's collection.
