Algerische Jüdin auf dem Friedhof 1877

Wilhelm Gentz's 1877 drawing, *Algerische Jüdin auf dem Friedhof*, depicts a woman in traditional Algerian clothing, likely a Jewish woman, kneeling on a grave. The somber tone and the woman's bowed head suggest a melancholic mood, perhaps mourning or contemplation. The work, currently housed in the Städel Museum, demonstrates Gentz's mastery of charcoal, capturing the intricate details of the woman's attire and the soft, expressive contours of her form.
