Entwurf zur _Tischgesellschaft mit Cellospieler_ 1871

Wilhelm Leibl’s charcoal drawing, _Entwurf zur Tischgesellschaft mit Cellospieler_ (1871), depicts a group of figures gathered around a table. Leibl, a key figure in the Munich School of Realism, used loose, gestural lines to capture a momentary glimpse of the scene. The figures are partially obscured and their faces are barely discernible, suggesting a focus on capturing the movement and atmosphere of the gathering rather than individual portraits. This sketch is housed in the Städel Museum, highlighting Leibl’s contributions to the development of Realist art in Germany.
