Landscape 1700 - 1800

This anonymous 18th-century red chalk drawing titled *Landscape* depicts a serene scene with a winding path leading through a wooded area with a large tree in the foreground. The artist’s gestural lines capture the texture of the leaves and the rolling hills in the distance. It is possible that the drawing was made in the style of Claude Lorrain, a French artist famous for his landscape paintings that were heavily inspired by nature and Romanticism. The drawing can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
