Malresl Working in the Kitchen

Wilhelm Leibl

National Gallery of Art

The image is a charcoal sketch of a person seated with a three-quarter body view. The individual is facing slightly to the left. They have defined cheekbones, a slight pursed expression, and short combed hair. The person is dressed in attire with a visible collar and a bow tie. The background shows a window with crossed panes near their head, casting shadows. There is a dark shaded area representing the wall behind the person. The sketch is signed by the artist in the lower-left corner.
