Writing lady 1916

"Writing Lady" is a 1916 ink drawing by German artist Gustav Schraegle, currently housed at the Städel Museum. The work captures a woman in profile, hunched over a writing desk, with a vase of flowers to her right. Schraegle's loose, expressive lines suggest a fleeting moment of focus and create a sense of intimacy. This intimate and informal sketch exemplifies Schraegle's talent for capturing everyday moments and the human form with delicate precision.
