Neujahrsbrief des Künstlers mit obszöner Randskizze 1865

Fritz Bamberger's "Neujahrsbrief des Künstlers mit obszöner Randskizze" (1865) is a unique piece of artwork housed in the Städel Museum. The work is a handwritten letter with an obscene sketch in the margins, a humorous and irreverent approach to traditional correspondence. The sketch, depicting a figure with a skull-like head, further accentuates the satirical nature of the artwork. Bamberger's artistic style, evident in the letter and the sketch, reflects his playful and often humorous approach to everyday life.
