Rodolphe Bresdin’s 1839 drawing “House in the Rocks” depicts a fantastical architectural structure seemingly integrated into the rocky landscape. It features detailed rendering of intricate details, such as the window, steps and surrounding foliage. This pen-and-ink drawing displays Bresdin’s signature style, characterized by detailed and evocative imagery and a surreal approach to depicting the world. The artwork is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
