This drawing, "Friedberg in Hessia," by Peter Becker, depicts a serene landscape view of a small town in Germany. The artist, born in 1828, captures the town's architecture from a distance, showcasing its buildings and a prominent church spire, all framed by a verdant foreground. The drawing's subtle use of light and color, primarily washes of gray and yellow, suggests a tranquil atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the picturesque scene.
