Standing figure 

"Standing Figure" is a simple yet expressive pencil sketch by Otto Scholderer, a German artist born in 1834. It portrays a single figure standing against a seemingly blank background, emphasizing the outline and form of the human body. The lines are fluid and gestural, creating a sense of movement and capturing the essence of the figure. The sketch exemplifies the artist's focus on capturing the core essence of a subject, leaving interpretation and detail to the viewer. This work, now housed at the Städel Museum, stands as a testament to the power of minimalist expression in art.
