This pencil sketch by Theodor Alt, titled "Frau in der Tracht des Mittelalters, am Herd beschäftigt," depicts a woman in a medieval dress working near a fireplace. Alt, born in 1846, was known for his detailed drawings, and this work, housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies his style. The simplicity of the pencil lines captures the woman's form and the interior setting, providing a glimpse into daily life during the Middle Ages. The sketch's subject matter, featuring a woman engaged in a domestic task, aligns with the popular theme of portraying everyday life in art during this period.
