Weiter Blick über die Sabiner Berge 1830 - 1831

"Weiter Blick über die Sabiner Berge" (1830 - 1831) is a pencil drawing on paper by German artist August Lucas. The drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, showcases a distant view of the Sabine Mountains. The composition is simple, using delicate lines to depict the rolling hills and cloudy sky, creating a sense of atmospheric depth and tranquility. While this is a preparatory study, its focus on light and form reflects Lucas's interest in landscape painting, a popular genre in 19th-century Germany.
