Sitzender Knabe in historischer Tracht aus der _Vorbereitung zum Kostümball_, Variante 27 - 1880

"Sitzender Knabe in historischer Tracht aus der _Vorbereitung zum Kostümball_, Variante" is a pencil drawing by Otto Scholderer, dated 1880. This preparatory study for a larger work features a young boy in a historical costume, seated with his head bowed, likely a detail from a larger composition depicting a costume ball. The loose, expressive lines characteristic of Scholderer's style capture the boy's posture and the details of his clothing, offering a glimpse into the artist's creative process. The drawing is currently in the collection of the Städel Museum.
