Zeichnung zur Fibel_ Eidechse c. 1905

This drawing by Hans Thoma, created around 1905, depicts a lizard in meticulous detail. The artist's masterful use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of texture and depth, making the reptile's scales and skin appear almost lifelike. The simple composition, featuring the lizard against a textured background, showcases Thoma's ability to capture the essence of his subject with economy of line. This work, housed at the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into Thoma's fascination with the natural world.
