Gotisches Kapitellchen mit Krabben 

Karl Ballenberger's "Gotisches Kapitellchen mit Krabben" is a detailed pencil drawing of a Gothic capital. The intricately carved capital features a complex design of rounded, organic shapes that resemble leaves and tendrils, with a sense of symmetry and rhythm. The work exhibits a meticulous attention to detail, with delicate shading and precise lines capturing the three-dimensionality of the subject. The drawing is a testament to Ballenberger's interest in the architectural details of the Gothic period, providing a valuable record of a lost or forgotten element. The drawing is currently located in the Städel Museum.
