Description from the seller

✦ NO RESERVE ✦ BEST-RATED ✦ Discover more beautiful paintings in my other listings!

This finely rendered drawing depicts a young boy seen from behind, holding a kite string—a quiet moment of childhood concentration captured with confident linework and subtle shading. Executed during Schwarzer’s studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, the work reflects his early mastery of form and atmosphere. Schwarzer, a member of the Düsseldorfer Malerschule, was known for his sensitive portraits and naturalistic studies.

A rare example of the artist’s early draughtsmanship, offering both biographical significance and artistic charm.
