This sheet of sketches by Moritz von Schwind, a prominent German Romantic artist, depicts designs for balustrade fillings. The drawings feature a variety of animals, including deer, rabbits, and birds, interwoven with intricate foliage. These sketches demonstrate Schwind's interest in combining natural motifs with decorative elements, reflecting the influence of historicist design. The work is held in the Städel Museum and showcases Schwind's versatility as an artist.
