Zeichnung zur Fibel_ Papagei c. 1905

Hans Thoma's "Zeichnung zur Fibel_ Papagei" is a pen and ink drawing of a parrot perched on a branch, created circa 1905. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Thoma's talent for capturing animal life with precise detail and expressive linework. The parrot's feathers are meticulously rendered, showcasing Thoma's skill in capturing the textures and forms of nature. The drawing is a study for a larger project, potentially an illustration for a children's primer, showcasing Thoma's artistic versatility and his interest in the natural world.
