Ragged rock face 

Franz Kobell's "Ragged rock face" is a black and white drawing that depicts a dramatic landscape with towering rock formations and a small group of figures at the base. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching to create texture and depth, reminiscent of 18th-century draftsmanship, lends a sense of realism to the rugged terrain. Kobell, known for his landscapes and particularly his depictions of mountains, masterfully captures the grandeur of the natural world through his detailed portrayal of the rock formations, emphasizing the power and beauty of the mountains. This work, showcasing Kobell's keen eye for detail and his ability to evoke a sense of awe, exemplifies the artistic trends of the late 18th century.
