Landscape 1810 - 1883

"Landscape" is a pencil drawing on paper created by Franz von Hauslab the Younger between 1810 and 1883, showcasing the artist's keen eye for detail and ability to capture the essence of a scene. The work, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a distant view of a mountainous landscape, likely a mountainous island, which is rendered in delicate pencil strokes. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the serene expanse. This drawing exemplifies the romanticism in landscape art that emerged in the 19th century. The simplicity of the composition underscores the beauty of nature and invites contemplation of the natural world.
