Greengrocer 1880

Otto Scholderer's "Greengrocer" is a 1880 pencil drawing depicting a woman, likely a vendor, seated behind a table filled with produce. The woman is dressed in a shawl and is seen meticulously handling what appears to be a cabbage. This realistic depiction of a humble worker is indicative of Scholderer's interest in capturing everyday scenes and figures. The drawing's loose and expressive lines emphasize the immediacy of the scene, inviting viewers to imagine the bustle of a market and the vendor's daily labor. The drawing is currently housed at the Städel Museum.
