Gezicht op een dal te Oostenrijk Possibly 1887

"Gezicht op een dal te Oostenrijk" is a small, possibly 1887, landscape drawing by Austrian artist Friedrich Simony (1813-1896), showing a valley in Austria. Simony was a notable landscape painter who created small drawings of mountainous landscapes. The drawing features a small farmhouse in the foreground surrounded by fields, all shadowed by large mountains in the distance. The use of light and shadow to create depth, as well as the detailed textures of the plants and the buildings, are notable hallmarks of Simony’s style.
