Gewandpartie der Stadt Worms im Rheinbild, die erste sitzende Figur links before 1848

This preparatory drawing by the German Romantic painter Moritz von Schwind is a study for the figure of the "first sitting figure left" in his large-scale painting "Gewandpartie der Stadt Worms im Rheinbild". Dated before 1848, it showcases Schwind's meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing the intricate folds and textures of the drapery. The artist's signature style is evident in the delicate pencil lines, capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and volume. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
