At the city wall of Laon 20 - 1916

"At the City Wall of Laon," a pencil sketch by Jakob Nussbaum from 1916, depicts a view of the city wall of Laon in France. The artist uses loose and gestural lines to capture the cityscape, emphasizing the architectural details of the wall and the surrounding landscape. The figures in the foreground appear as silhouettes against the distant horizon, adding a sense of solitude and contemplation to the scene. The sketch is housed in the Städel Museum, offering a glimpse into Nussbaum's artistic practice and his fascination with the urban environment.
