Drei antikisch gewandete Damen mit Schafsherde in monumentaler Grotte 

Franz Kobell, a German artist known for his landscape drawings, created this piece depicting a picturesque scene of a monumental grotto. The artwork features a dramatic entrance to the cave, framed by verdant foliage and rugged cliffs. Three figures, clad in antique-style garments, shepherd a flock of sheep in the foreground. The distant landscape, visible through the grotto's opening, suggests a serene and idyllic setting. This drawing, executed in pen and wash, exemplifies Kobell's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the beauty of nature. The artwork, currently housed in the Städel Museum, offers viewers a glimpse into the artist's fascination with classical motifs and the grandeur of the natural world.
