Artist, German, 1884 - 1950

This is a drawing of a young calf sketched on lined paper using pencil. The calf is standing with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. The shading and lines are loose, giving the drawing an unfinished or sketch-like quality. The calf's ears are large and pointed, and its eyes are captured with simple lines that convey some expression. The shading on its body suggests the calf's musculature. The lined page behind contrasts with the freehand nature of the drawing.

The image features a large rectangular shape with a textured, mottled surface in warm brown color and a narrow vertical black stripe along the left side. The pattern could resemble the cover of an old notebook or journal. The surface appears aged, with variations in light and shade creating depth on the background.
