"Custom windows" is a pencil drawing by German artist Karl Ballenberger (1801-1860), currently housed in the Städel Museum. The drawing showcases a detailed, architectural perspective of a gothic-style window, emphasizing the intricate design of the frame and the geometric pattern of the glass panes. Ballenberger, known for his architectural drawings, captured the beauty of medieval structures in meticulous detail. This drawing exemplifies the artist's fascination with Gothic architecture and his ability to translate its intricate details onto paper with precision.
