Puck mit Flügeln und erhobenem Zeigefinger, auf einem Bein stehend c. 1867 - 1868

This pencil drawing, “Puck mit Flügeln und erhobenem Zeigefinger, auf einem Bein stehend,” by German artist Paul Konewka, depicts a mischievous Puck, a character often appearing in folklore and literature. The drawing, which dates to c. 1867-1868, showcases a whimsical style. The figure is drawn in a dynamic pose, standing on one leg, and with wings that almost touch the edges of the sheet of paper. The artist’s sketch-like handling of the pencil lines emphasizes the fantastical nature of the subject matter. The image captures a moment of Puck's impish charm, as if he’s about to tell a secret.
