Zeichnung zur Fibel_ Traube c. 1905

"Zeichnung zur Fibel_ Traube" (Drawing for the Primer_ Grape), created by German artist Hans Thoma around 1905, is a detailed pen-and-ink drawing of a cluster of grapes with leaves. Known for his depictions of nature, Thoma's precise, almost scientific rendering captures the intricate details of the fruit and its vine. This study, possibly intended for a children's primer, exemplifies Thoma's ability to convey natural forms with clarity and simplicity. The drawing, now part of the Städel Museum's collection, showcases his skill in botanical illustration and contributes to his legacy as a painter of the natural world.
