Balcony 1882

"Balcony," a pencil drawing by Louis Eysen created in 1882, is a simple yet evocative study of architectural detail. Eysen's loose, gestural lines capture the essence of a small balcony, its railing, and the windows flanking it. The artist's focus on line and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmospheric realism, typical of the late 19th-century drawing style. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, offers viewers a glimpse into Eysen's keen observation of his surroundings.
