Study of rocks c. 1818

"Study of Rocks" is a graphite drawing created by Carl Philipp Fohr in 1818. Fohr, born in 1795, was known for his detailed landscape studies, and this piece showcases his keen observation of natural forms. The drawing depicts a rocky outcrop, its contours and textures rendered with delicate lines, conveying a sense of the solidity and ruggedness of the subject. The piece, held in the Städel Museum, serves as a testament to Fohr's ability to capture the essence of the natural world through simple yet expressive means.
