Brustbild eines lesenden Mädchens mit Haube 

This 18th-century drawing by Benjamin Calau, titled "Brustbild eines lesenden Mädchens mit Haube," depicts a young woman engrossed in reading. The subject is portrayed in a simple yet elegant style, with a focus on her thoughtful expression and the delicate lines of her face. The soft, sepia tones of the drawing create a sense of intimacy and tranquility, emphasizing the quiet concentration of the woman as she delves into the pages of her book. The work, currently held at the Städel Museum, exemplifies Calau's mastery of capturing the human form and its subtle nuances.
