Landscape with a Strolling Woman 1795 - 1805

Johann Christian Klengel's etching "Landscape with a Strolling Woman," created between 1795 and 1805, depicts a serene rural scene with a solitary figure walking through a wooded path. The central focus is a large tree with thick foliage, its branches reaching towards the sky. The artist skillfully uses hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create a sense of depth and texture in the foliage, while the figure is rendered with fine lines, highlighting the details of her clothing and the staff she carries. The etching evokes a peaceful and contemplative mood, offering a glimpse into the beauty of the natural world and the quiet solitude of a solitary walk.
