Otto Scholderer's 1879 pencil drawing, "Lady with fan", depicts a woman in a detailed, patterned dress, holding a fan. The sketch's loose lines, light shading and overall simplicity suggest a quick study, capturing the essence of the figure rather than precise detail. The artwork, now housed in the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into Scholderer's artistic process and his interest in capturing the beauty of everyday life.
