Fishing boats at the beach 

This pencil sketch by German artist Rudolf Gudden, currently housed at the Städel Museum, depicts a man standing near a donkey laden with supplies. The loose, gestural lines, characteristic of Gudden's style, create a sense of immediacy and capture the movement of the animals and the man. The simplicity of the composition and the focus on the subject matter, likely a common scene in rural Germany, make the piece a compelling example of the artist's observational skills and his fascination with everyday life.
