View of the Courtyard of the Castle at Döben 1800 - 1869

Carl Gustav Carus was a German Romantic artist known for his landscape paintings and drawings. This pen and ink drawing, “View of the Courtyard of the Castle at Döben,” was created between 1800 and 1869 and showcases Carus’s keen eye for detail and ability to capture the atmospheric qualities of a scene. Carus’s drawing depicts a courtyard in a castle setting, the perspective and composition of the piece giving a sense of depth and space. The buildings are rendered in a minimalist, architectural style, focusing on the composition of lines, volume, and perspective.
