Landscape 

This delicate pencil sketch by Ludwig Metz, a German artist born in 1822, depicts a landscape scene. The artwork, currently housed in the Städel Museum, showcases a light and airy style, with barely discernible outlines suggesting trees and a building in the distance. The artist's loose and gestural strokes create a sense of immediacy, capturing the essence of the landscape rather than striving for photographic realism. This quick study exemplifies Metz's keen observation of nature and his ability to evoke a sense of atmosphere through simple means.
