Schetsblad met karikaturale typen 1822 - 1874

This pencil sketch by Christian Heinrich Gottlieb Steuerwald, dating from between 1822 and 1874, showcases his skill in capturing the nuances of human expression. The drawing features a series of portraits, possibly studies for larger compositions, with exaggerated features and individualistic details, creating a sense of caricature. Steuerwald's keen observation of his subjects is evident in the varied expressions and postures, contributing to the work's dynamic energy and engaging character. The composition's informal nature and the use of graphite suggest a quick sketch, highlighting the artist's spontaneous approach to capturing his observations of people.
