Theodor Kittelsen's 1891 pen and ink drawing "Raftsund" depicts a dramatic mountain landscape. The use of hatching and cross-hatching gives the impression of depth and texture, while the single, lone figure in the foreground emphasizes the vastness of the natural world. This work is characteristic of Kittelsen’s style, which often featured fantastical creatures and dramatic landscapes, capturing the beauty and power of the Norwegian wilderness. His artwork, known for its atmospheric and captivating imagery, remains popular among art enthusiasts.
