Valley cut 1906

"Valley Cut" is a 1906 pencil drawing by German artist Jacob Happ (1861-?), now held in the Städel Museum. The artwork depicts a valley cut through rolling hills with a winding path leading towards the center. Happ uses a variety of delicate shading to capture the light and shadow of the landscape, emphasizing the texture of the hillside and the foliage of the trees. The drawing is a testament to Happ's skill in rendering natural landscapes with meticulous detail and masterful use of light and shadow.
