This watercolor sketch from Eugène Delacroix’s *Sketchbook from the Artist’s Trip to Germany* (1855-1859) depicts a landscape of rolling hills and valleys. The French Romantic painter captures the scene with loose brushstrokes, conveying the atmospheric conditions of the day through washes of pale greens and blues. It is likely Delacroix made this sketch during his travels to Germany, where he was inspired by the region’s natural beauty. This work is part of a collection of landscape sketches that showcase Delacroix’s keen eye for the details of nature.
