"Town gate at Höchst on the Main" is a pencil drawing by Karl Ballenberger, a German artist active in the 19th century. The work depicts a detailed view of a town gate, likely the historic Höchst Gate, with its imposing arched entrance and surrounding walls. The drawing emphasizes the architectural details of the gate, creating a sense of historical significance and grandeur. The minimalist style and delicate pencil strokes contribute to the artwork's overall sense of realism and focus on the architectural subject. The drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, provides a glimpse into the history of urban architecture and the artistry of Ballenberger.
