In the Raftsund mountains 1891

"In the Raftsund mountains" (1891) is a striking pen and ink drawing by the Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914). The work depicts a dramatic mountain landscape with towering peaks and a narrow valley carved by glacial ice. Kittelsen’s use of fine lines creates a sense of depth and texture, making the mountains appear both imposing and ethereal. The drawing's stark contrasts and dramatic composition evoke the wild and rugged beauty of the Norwegian landscape. This work is a great example of the Romantic style, which emphasizes emotion, nature, and the individual's experience of the world.
