A man with a donkey 1912

This 1912 charcoal drawing by German artist Rudolf Gudden depicts a man standing next to a donkey. The simplicity of the composition and the artist's use of light and shadow highlight the figure of the man and the donkey, creating a sense of intimacy. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, is a fine example of Gudden's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects with a minimalist approach.
