Lake Thun from the path to the plate Schynigen 1906

"Lake Thun from the Path to the Plate Schynigen" is a pencil sketch by Swiss Symbolist artist Ferdinand Hodler, created in 1906. The artwork is a simple yet evocative depiction of a landscape featuring a large cloud and a series of overlapping hills, possibly inspired by a view of Lake Thun in the Swiss Alps. Hodler is known for his distinct style characterized by bold lines, muted tones, and a sense of rhythmic repetition, which are all evident in this preparatory drawing. The artist's focus on the natural world and the interplay of light and shadow is also apparent in this composition.
