Rock study of hikers 1497

"Rock study of hikers" is a silverpoint drawing created in 1497 by Albrecht Dürer, a prominent figure of the Northern Renaissance. Dürer's masterful use of silverpoint is evident in the precise detail and intricate shading he employs to capture the texture of the rocks and the surrounding landscape. This study, now housed in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria, serves as a testament to Dürer's commitment to accurate observation and his exploration of the natural world.
