Egeus, der über die Hochzeit Hermias spricht, mit angedeutetem Schwert c. 1867 - 1868

This pencil drawing by Paul Konewka, titled "Egeus, der über die Hochzeit Hermias spricht, mit angedeutetem Schwert", depicts the mythical figure of Egeus in profile, standing with his right hand resting on the hilt of a sword. The work is a study for a larger project and demonstrates Konewka's ability to capture a dramatic moment through his use of line and shadow. It's a quick sketch, but there is a strong sense of movement in the figure, suggesting the urgency of the scene. This drawing is part of the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
