A pixie c. 1867 - 1868

"A Pixie" is a drawing by Paul Konewka, a German artist, created between 1867 and 1868. Currently housed in the Städel Museum, the piece showcases a delicate, pencil sketch of a pixie in flight. The figure is captured mid-air, with a spiky, whimsical hairstyle and outstretched arms. Konewka's work, while rendered in a simple style, reflects a keen interest in mythological creatures and imaginative storytelling, popular within the context of 19th-century European art.
