Christoph Heinrich Kniep was a German artist known for his landscape drawings. This artwork is a pencil drawing titled "Berglandschap met gebouwen," which translates to "Mountain Landscape with Buildings," created between 1765 and 1825. The drawing depicts a circular view of a mountain landscape with a castle perched on top. The scene includes a ruined column in the foreground, and a winding road leading into the distance. The composition of the drawing is characterized by a sense of depth and perspective, created through the use of light and shadow. The drawing is executed in a delicate and precise style, typical of Kniep's work.
