"Portrait of Schar" is a graphite drawing by German artist Carl Hoff, born in 1807. The artwork is housed in the Städel Museum, and depicts a man in profile, wearing a military cap and glasses. The use of graphite creates a sense of immediacy and informality, typical of sketches, capturing the likeness of Schar in a quick, expressive manner. This drawing showcases Hoff's skill in capturing a portrait with minimal detail, emphasizing the sitter's personality through subtle lines and shading.
