Maisemaluonnos 1891

"Maisemaluonnos" (Landscape Sketch) is a 1891 drawing by Finnish artist Magnus Enckell (1870-1925). The piece depicts a simple yet captivating landscape scene. It showcases the artist's preference for muted tones and delicate lines, creating a sense of serene tranquility. Enckell's subtle use of shading and light gives a glimpse of the landscape's vastness and depth, while the simplified forms of the trees and distant hill evoke a sense of the natural world's quiet beauty. The sketch, done with pencil on paper, exemplifies Enckell's artistic approach that favored understated beauty over dramatic detail, and reflects the artistic trends of the late 19th-century.
