Final vignette c. 1884

Wilhelm Steinhausen's "Final vignette" is a delicate and intricate drawing dating back to 1884, currently residing in the Städel Museum. The artwork is a masterful example of 19th-century decorative design, featuring intricate floral motifs, cherubic figures, and a central circular motif. Two putti flank the center, while the background bursts with delicate leaves, flowers, and small bees. The vignette would have likely been intended for a larger decorative project, showcasing Steinhausen's skill in creating intricate and graceful ornamentation.
