Bavarian Peasants

Robert A. Eichelberger

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch of four people in traditional clothing. The left side features a woman wearing a long dress and a headscarf, standing beside a bundle of sticks or reeds. To her right are two women, one taller than the other, both wearing long dresses and headscarves, interacting with each other. On the right side, a woman in a long dress and a head covering is bending over, her hands near the ground. The background of the sketch is a simple, off-white color with some darker shading. The artist's signature is present in the bottom-left corner, reading "R.A. Eichelberger Munich 1885 N.Y.". The overall style of the sketch suggests it is a study of Bavarian peasants.
