Bildnis des Malers Ludwig Richter 1824

This 1824 pencil drawing by Nikolaus Hoff is a portrait of the German painter Ludwig Richter. The artwork, currently held by the Städel Museum, captures Richter in a contemplative pose, his head bowed slightly as he gazes downwards. The delicate lines and subtle shading of the drawing create a sense of intimacy and realism, showcasing Hoff's skill in capturing likeness. The work serves as a valuable historical document, offering insight into the artistic circles of 19th-century Germany.
