Lüthorst c. 1853

"Lüthorst" is a pencil sketch by Wilhelm Busch, created around 1853. The drawing, currently housed in the Städel Museum, features a detailed depiction of a dilapidated building, possibly a barn or shed. The artist’s signature, "W. Busch," is faintly visible at the bottom right corner of the image. The composition focuses on the structure, with a single figure walking away from the building, suggesting a moment of quiet observation or contemplation. The work showcases Busch’s early interest in architectural detail and his skillful use of line to capture the essence of a rural scene.
