"Skizzenbuch" is a sketchbook by Ludwig Metz, dating back to 1852, currently housed at the Städel Museum. The cover, showcasing an intricate pattern of swirling, black lines on a dark background, is the only visible part of the artwork. This abstract design might be interpreted as a study of texture or a visual exploration of form, hinting at the potential artistic explorations within the sketchbook itself.
