Mary Eysen on the balcony 1897

"Mary Eysen on the Balcony" is a graphite drawing by Louis Eysen, created in 1897, and is now part of the Städel Museum collection. The artwork features a delicate, almost hazy, portrayal of Eysen's wife Mary, seated on a balcony, lost in thought. The drawing's subtle use of shading and lines captures the softness of Mary's features and the quiet intimacy of the moment, typical of Eysen's artistic style, which often focused on portraiture and domestic scenes.
