Körper des Oberon, nackt und schwebend, nach links c. 1867 - 1868

This simple pencil sketch by Paul Konewka, titled "Körper des Oberon, nackt und schwebend, nach links," shows a nude figure from the waist down, floating in mid-air. The figure is depicted in a dynamic pose, with the legs angled at a sharp angle, giving the impression of movement and weightlessness. Created between 1867 and 1868, this work exemplifies Konewka’s skill in capturing the human form with fluid lines and an elegant economy of detail. It currently resides at the Städel Museum, where art enthusiasts can appreciate the artist’s study of human anatomy and his unique approach to representing the body in motion.
