This pen-and-ink drawing, titled "Rugged Moonlit Landscape with a Woman Seated by Gnarled Tree Roots, and an Owl," by Ludwig Emil Grimm (1790-1863), depicts a dramatic landscape under a full moon. The gnarled tree roots, the seated woman, and the owl create a sense of mystery and intrigue. The artist's use of line and shading emphasizes the ruggedness of the terrain and the dramatic lighting of the moon. The artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, exemplifies the Romantic era's fascination with nature and the sublime.
