Landscape 1806 - 1816

"Landscape" is a pen and ink drawing by Johann Nepomuk Strixner, created between 1806 and 1816. The drawing depicts a serene lakeside scene with mountains in the distance. The use of hatch marks and shading gives the landscape a sense of depth and detail, while the inclusion of figures in the foreground adds a human element to the composition. Strixner's work is known for its precise draftsmanship and evocative depictions of natural beauty. This drawing, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, provides a glimpse into the artist's skill in capturing the tranquility and grandeur of the natural world.
