Lady resting her chin in her hand by Gustav Schraegle, 1916

Imagine catching someone lost in thought—that's exactly what Gustav Schraegle did here in 1916 Stuttgart. With rapid, scribbled green lines, he sketches a woman resting her chin on her hand, gazing off into the distance. The loose, almost frantic strokes suggest he was working quickly, perhaps capturing a fleeting moment of quiet reflection during the chaos of World War I. It feels less like a formal portrait and more like a visual snapshot of a daydream, proving that a few energetic marks can say more than a perfectly polished painting.
