November. Design for a Ceiling Painting for the Café Bauer c. 1884

Hans Thoma's *November. Design for a Ceiling Painting for the Café Bauer*, created in 1884, depicts a playful and whimsical scene with a design for a ceiling painting. The artwork is a study in composition, dividing the canvas into distinct sections that feature various figures and motifs. The composition features a flying figure, birds, clouds and a cherubic angel, all of which are depicted in a light and delicate style, typical of Thoma's work. The artwork demonstrates Thoma's interest in decorative art and his ability to create engaging and imaginative designs for public spaces. The painting is currently housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
