Szene in der Eisenbahn sowie Bildnis von Ludwig Bischoff c. 1861 - 1864

This pencil sketch, created by Wilhelm Amandus Beer around 1861-1864, depicts Ludwig Bischoff, a well-known German painter, alongside a scene from a train. The drawing, housed at the Städel Museum, provides a glimpse into the daily life of the artist and his contemporaries during the burgeoning era of rail travel. The casual, loose style of the sketch suggests a personal, intimate observation, capturing Bischoff's likeness and a fleeting moment in a railway carriage.
