Danae 1889

Otto Scholderer’s 1889 drawing “Danae” depicts the mythological figure reclining in a landscape setting, with a drapery partially covering her. The artist utilized a soft charcoal technique to render the figure in a loose, expressive style, highlighting the subject's form and anatomy. The piece, housed in the Städel Museum, showcases Scholderer's skill in capturing the human form through a nuanced and sensitive approach.
