Köpfchen zur Einfassung der Veitschen Freskobilder im Städelschen Kunstinstitut 

This pencil drawing, "Köpfchen zur Einfassung der Veitschen Freskobilder im Städelschen Kunstinstitut," by Eugen Eduard Schäffer (1802-1871) features eight profile portraits, each enclosed in a circle. The sketches are preparatory studies for the decorative frames of the frescoes in the Städel Museum. The portraits depict historical figures, likely significant individuals in the history of art or culture. The delicate lines and simple composition highlight the features of each subject, making this a study in both artistic technique and historical representation. The piece offers a glimpse into the creative process behind the completion of the frescoes, demonstrating the artist's commitment to detail and research.
