"Ravine" is a pencil drawing by German artist Peter Becker, born in 1828. Currently housed in the Städel Museum, the artwork is a delicate study of a natural landscape, with a focus on the winding path of a ravine. Becker's loose, expressive lines capture the rugged beauty of the terrain, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow on the rocky banks and lush foliage. This drawing exemplifies Becker's keen observation of nature and his mastery of pencil technique.
