"Gate to the Riederhöfe" is a pencil drawing by Peter Becker, a German artist born in 1828. The artwork depicts a weathered, archway entrance to a building, likely a gate to an old courtyard in Frankfurt. The drawing captures the details of the worn stone and the partially-collapsed wall, creating a sense of history and decay. This simple yet evocative piece is a testament to Becker's skill in capturing the essence of architectural details and the passage of time. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
