Greengrocer 1890

Otto Scholderer's "Greengrocer," a graphite drawing from 1890, depicts a young woman in profile, holding a basket of produce. The drawing's realism and detailed depiction of the woman's clothing and the basket's contents highlight the artist's skill and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life. Currently housed in the Städel Museum, the drawing offers a glimpse into the social realities of 19th-century Germany, emphasizing the importance of simple labor and the humble lives of its people.
