Silhouetten van boomtoppen 1823

"Silhouetten van boomtoppen" is a pencil drawing on paper by Max Josef Wagenbauer, an Austrian artist known for his botanical illustrations. Created in 1823, the drawing depicts six detailed silhouettes of treetops, arranged in three pairs. The work likely served as a study for a larger landscape or botanical illustration, showcasing Wagenbauer's precise and delicate hand. The simple yet accurate depictions of the treetops, ranging from deciduous to coniferous, emphasize the artist's keen observation of nature. The artwork's focus on form and detail makes it a valuable resource for students of botanical illustration and an excellent example of 19th-century artistic practice.
