Fishmonger c. 1882

"Fishmonger" is a charcoal drawing by Otto Scholderer, created around 1882. The artwork, currently housed at the Städel Museum, depicts a fishmonger holding a plate of fish. Scholderer's use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and texture, capturing the details of the figure's clothing and the rough surface of the plate. The drawing, in its simplicity, highlights the daily labor of a working-class individual, offering a glimpse into everyday life in 19th-century Europe.
