Landscape with Children in Oriental Costume 1773

"Landscape with Children in Oriental Costume" is a 1773 drawing by Tiberius Domenikus Wocher. The work showcases a group of children in elaborate, seemingly Middle Eastern-inspired attire, gathered in a mountainous landscape. The artist's meticulous penmanship creates a sense of detail and depth in the composition, drawing attention to the lush foliage, rocky formations, and cascading water feature. This picturesque scene exemplifies the Rococo style, popular in 18th-century Europe, and is a testament to Wocher's skill in capturing the beauty and grandeur of the natural world, as well as the playful innocence of childhood.
