Draughtsman and lady at the table
1917
Gustav Schraegle captures a quiet domestic moment in 1917 with a sketch that feels almost alive, thanks to his frantic, energetic lines. A bearded artist is deeply focused on his easel to the left, his hand busy at work, while a woman with curly hair sits patiently beside him at a table. A coffee pot in the foreground suggests a cozy break, and the heavy vertical hatching creates a sense of movement and texture. This raw, unpolished style is a great example of realism, showing everyday life without any romanticized filter.
