Stehendes Mädchen in Tracht c. 1771 - 1772

"Stehendes Mädchen in Tracht" is a drawing by Georg Melchior Kraus, a German artist active in the late 18th century. Created around 1771-1772, the artwork depicts a young woman in traditional clothing, standing with her back to the viewer. The artist’s deft use of pen and brown ink creates a sense of movement and life in the figure. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Kraus’s interest in capturing the everyday details of life in his time.
