Girl with a fruit basket c. 1869

Otto Scholderer's "Girl with a Fruit Basket" (c. 1869), a pen and ink drawing, depicts a young woman holding a basket overflowing with fruit. The artwork's loose, expressive lines and stippling technique create a sense of realism and movement. The girl's posture and the way she holds the basket suggest a sense of grace and effortlessness, capturing a moment of everyday life. This drawing, now housed at the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into Scholderer's mastery of depicting the human figure and his fascination with everyday subjects.
