Portal und Architekturprofile 1829

"Portal und Architekturprofile" is a pencil drawing by Friedrich Maximilian Hessemer from 1829, housed in the Städel Museum. The artwork depicts a detailed architectural study of a portal, featuring intricate details of the arch, molding, and surrounding elements. The inclusion of two figures seated below suggests a focus on the human scale within this architectural setting. Hessemer's keen eye for detail and his ability to translate intricate architectural features into a delicate drawing style make this a fascinating example of architectural study in the early 19th century.
