This design for a ceiling painting by Hans Thoma, circa 1884, is a whimsical depiction of cherubic figures and birds nestled in clouds. The design for the ceiling of the Cafe Bauer features several vignettes arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The use of delicate lines and soft washes of color creates a sense of light and airy atmosphere, reminiscent of the Symbolist movement. This preliminary study for the ceiling painting is held in the Städel Museum.
