Acted school scene 7 - 1877

Otto Scholderer’s "Acted school scene" is a graphite drawing that depicts a scene of three children acting out a classroom scenario. The drawing captures a candid moment, suggesting an intimate family setting, with the younger children focused on their tasks while the older girl holds a twig in her hand as if she were a stern teacher. This drawing, dated 1877, exemplifies Scholderer’s interest in capturing the everyday life of children. The simple yet detailed style of the artwork, with its focus on the children's expressions, allows viewers to feel a sense of connection with the scene. "Acted school scene" is currently housed in the Städel Museum, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the playful world of childhood in the late 19th century.
