Entwurf für eine Märchenillustration 

This preliminary drawing, "Entwurf für eine Märchenillustration," by Moritz von Schwind, is a captivating example of the artist's signature style. The sketch, likely for a larger work, features a hierarchical composition with figures arranged across three tiers. The top tier depicts a serene, seated angel, while the middle tier showcases a dramatic scene of figures reaching out to each other. The bottom tier depicts figures in a more chaotic setting, likely inspired by mythology. This work exemplifies the artist's interest in fantastical narratives and his ability to capture emotions through delicate lines.
