"A Monk" is a drawing by Wilhelm Busch, a German artist renowned for his satirical illustrations and comic verses. The artwork depicts a monk in a brown robe, carrying a large sack on his back, and holding a staff. The drawing, likely a study for a larger work, is executed in a gestural and expressive style. Busch's distinctive blend of realism and caricature adds humor to the subject, capturing the monk's personality in a whimsical and engaging manner. The drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into Busch's artistic process and his keen observation of human nature.
