Wilhelm Amandus Beer’s “Girl with Headscarf” is a simple yet poignant drawing of a woman with a headscarf. The delicate lines and subtle washes of watercolor create a sense of intimacy, highlighting the sitter's shy demeanor. The figure's posture, with arms crossed, conveys a sense of reserve, making the drawing a powerful example of the artist's ability to capture personality through subtle details. While the exact date of the artwork is unknown, its style aligns with Beer’s work from the late 19th century, a period marked by his fascination with the daily lives of ordinary people. Today, the drawing resides at the Städel Museum, a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
