"Sketch for Niobe" (1923) is a notable work by the Hungarian artist Károly Patkó, who is recognized for his contributions to early 20th-century European art. Patkó, born in 1895, was an influential figure in the Hungarian avant-garde movement, and his works often reflect a synthesis of classical themes with modernist techniques. "Sketch for Niobe" exemplifies this blend, drawing inspiration from the mythological figure of Niobe, a character from Greek mythology who is a symbol of tragic loss and mourning.

The sketch is a preparatory work that showcases Patkó's meticulous approach to composition and form. It is believed to have been created as a study for a larger, more detailed piece, allowing Patkó to experiment with the portrayal of Niobe's grief and the dramatic tension inherent in her story. The myth of Niobe, who was punished by the gods for her hubris by having all her children slain, has been a poignant subject for many artists throughout history, and Patkó's interpretation adds a unique perspective to this rich tradition.

In "Sketch for Niobe," Patkó employs a delicate yet expressive line quality, capturing the emotional intensity of the subject. The use of shading and contouring in the sketch suggests a depth and dimensionality that hint at the potential of the final work. The sketch also reflects Patkó's interest in the human form and his ability to convey complex emotions through minimalistic means.

This work is part of Patkó's broader oeuvre, which includes paintings, drawings, and prints that often explore themes of mythology, human suffering, and existential contemplation. "Sketch for Niobe" is a testament to Patkó's skill as a draftsman and his ability to imbue classical themes with a modern sensibility. It remains an important piece for understanding the evolution of his artistic style and the thematic preoccupations that defined his career.
