Hermann Lismann's 1923 ink drawing "Gubbio" depicts a picturesque Italian town nestled against a hillside. The artist captures the essence of the town with a focus on its architecture, showcasing the layered roofs and towering buildings against a backdrop of hazy hills. Lismann's detailed lines and shading create a sense of depth and perspective, inviting viewers to imagine the life within the town's walls. This drawing exemplifies Lismann's fascination with Italian landscapes, which he explored throughout his career. The work, now housed in the Städel Museum, provides a glimpse into the charm and beauty of Gubbio, Italy, as seen through the eyes of a skilled artist.
