Farmstead with straw roof 

Wilhelm Amandus Beer's "Farmstead with straw roof" is a delicate pencil and pastel drawing depicting a rural scene. The artist's keen observation is evident in the detailed depiction of the farmhouse, featuring a thatched roof and a wooden fence. The surrounding landscape, rendered with subtle washes of color, adds to the serene and picturesque atmosphere of the scene. The artwork, currently housed in the Städel Museum, showcases Beer's mastery of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and realism in the composition.
