Leutnant Polzderf, Brustbild mit Tschako nach rechts 

This graphite drawing by Carl Hoff, born in 1807, depicts a bust-length portrait of Leutnant Polzderf. The subject wears a military uniform with a distinctive tall hat, a common feature in portraiture of this period. While the date of the artwork is unknown, the style of dress suggests it was likely created in the early to mid-19th century. The realistic detail and use of hatching in the drawing are characteristic of Hoff's style and the prevalent artistic trends of the time. This piece, now housed in the Städel Museum, provides a glimpse into the life of an individual who was likely a member of the military, offering insight into the culture and aesthetics of 19th-century Europe.
