Farming scene, "Mittersill im Pinzgau" 1810 - 1822

"Mittersill im Pinzgau" is a pencil drawing by Johann Christoph Erhard, a German artist who lived from 1795 to 1822. The drawing depicts a picturesque landscape with a distant mountain range and a small village nestled in a valley. In the foreground, a humble hut stands on the left, with a woman tending to a pile of hay, while a small, winding path leads toward a clearing. This artwork showcases Erhard's talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world with delicate detail and a sense of peacefulness. The drawing, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of landscape art and showcases the artist's love of nature and his skill in capturing its essence.
