Studie für den _Eselreiter in den Dünen_ 1878

This preparatory study, _Studie für den Eselreiter in den Dünen_ (Study for the Donkey Rider in the Dunes), was created in 1878 by German artist Otto Scholderer. The drawing depicts a young boy in profile, seated and wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Executed in pencil on paper, the work demonstrates Scholderer's skill at capturing a sense of movement and life through the simple gesture of the boy's pose. The artwork is a testament to Scholderer’s interest in capturing everyday life and is currently part of the Städel Museum collection.
