This charcoal drawing by Mathilde Battenberg, a German artist born in 1878, depicts Albert Schweitzer in profile. The work captures the subject's distinct features with expressive lines and subtle shading, highlighting his strong profile and prominent mustache. The piece offers a glimpse into Battenberg's artistic style and her ability to portray individual character through the medium of charcoal. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, serves as a testament to Battenberg's talent and the enduring impact of Albert Schweitzer.
