Zwei kniende Frauen in Rückenansicht, rechts eine Kiepe c. 1771 - 1772

Georg Melchior Kraus's "Zwei kniende Frauen in Rückenansicht, rechts eine Kiepe" (c. 1771-1772) is a pencil drawing depicting two women kneeling, seen from behind. The drawing is likely a study for a larger composition, showcasing Kraus's skill in capturing the human form. The simplicity of the lines and the focus on the figures' posture suggest a concern for anatomical accuracy. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum, offering a glimpse into Kraus's artistic process and his interest in capturing everyday scenes.
