This preliminary sketch, titled *Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge sowie eine Nachzeichnung der Venus Botticellis*, by German artist Hans Thoma (1839-1924) is a study for a larger work. The drawing depicts a scene from the German fairy tale *Snow White*, with a tracing of Sandro Botticelli's *The Birth of Venus* in the upper right corner. The sketch is characterized by the artist's expressive lines and playful use of caricature, which would later be evident in his mature work. The sketch is housed at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
