This pencil drawing by Eugen Eduard Schäffer, a German painter known for his portraits and historical scenes, depicts the profile of Friedrich Overbeck, a key figure in the Nazarene movement. The drawing, likely created sometime between 1802 and 1871, showcases Schäffer's meticulous line work and captures Overbeck's serious expression, highlighting the intellectualism and devoutness associated with the Nazarene movement. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.
