"15142 (_In front of the alcove …_)” (1931) by John Elsas is a watercolor on paper depicting a simple figure of a person in profile, with the figure’s head tilted and eyes closed. The style is reminiscent of children's drawings, or of art brut. A handwritten note appears on the bottom of the piece, seemingly referencing the scene, though the specifics are unknown. The artwork is currently in the collection of the Städel Museum.
