Arches c. 1847

"Arches" is a drawing by Peter Becker, created around 1847. The artwork features two simple arches rendered in light pencil lines, possibly a preparatory study for a larger work. The drawing's simplicity and focus on form suggests a focus on the artist's understanding of architectural structure, characteristic of Becker's work. Now housed in the Städel Museum, it is a testament to the ongoing process of artistic development and creative exploration.
