Zweispänner, ein Fass transportierend, fährt einen Hang hinab 

This pencil drawing by Peter von Hess, housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a two-horse carriage pulling a large barrel downhill. The scene is a depiction of a common rural activity in the 19th century, showcasing the artist’s interest in capturing daily life and simple scenes. The use of delicate lines and shading creates a sense of depth and movement, capturing the energy of the horses and the rolling terrain. While the artist’s keen attention to detail is evident in the horses' musculature and the barrel's intricate construction, the overall effect is one of effortless simplicity and natural beauty.
