"Satyrkopf (Entwurf für einen Majolikabrunnenkopf)" is a charcoal drawing by German artist Hans Thoma, now housed in the Städel Museum. The drawing depicts a detailed study of a satyr's head, with the artist exploring the form and expression of this mythical creature. The satyr's head is rendered with a strong sense of realism, with its features carefully observed and captured in detail, indicating Thoma's interest in anatomical study and classical mythology. While the drawing is likely a preparatory study for a larger work, it stands alone as a powerful example of Thoma's draughtsmanship. The drawing exemplifies the artist's ability to convey both the physicality and the emotional weight of his subject matter, making it a compelling work for any art lover.
