Zweiter Entwurf für das Gruppenbildnis der deutschen Künstler im Café Greco in Rom, rechte Hälfte 1817

This pencil sketch by Carl Philipp Fohr, titled "Zweiter Entwurf für das Gruppenbildnis der deutschen Künstler im Café Greco in Rom, rechte Hälfte", is a preparatory study for a larger group portrait of German artists at the Café Greco in Rome. Dating to 1817, it showcases Fohr's artistic vision before the completion of the final painting. The sketch features several figures in a café setting, with their heads and torsos outlined in delicate detail. This preliminary work, now housed in the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into Fohr's creative process, highlighting the artist's meticulous approach to composition and figure rendering.
