This simple pencil sketch, titled "Ornament des Peter Quince als Prolog sowie die Beine des Peter Quince," by German artist Paul Konewka, showcases a classical frieze design and two bare legs. Dating back to c. 1867-1868, the work hints at the influence of antiquity, evident in the recurring meander patterns. The legs, drawn in a simplistic yet expressive style, suggest a figure obscured from view, adding a layer of mystery to the composition. This sketch, currently residing at the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into Konewka's creative process and his engagement with classical motifs.
