This pencil sketch, "Tal mit Häusern, einer Burg und dem Meer bei auf- oder untergehender Sonne," by Carl Philipp Fohr (1795-1818) depicts a landscape with a castle and houses against a setting or rising sun. The minimal detail and the stark contrast between the foreground and background suggest a focus on capturing the overall atmosphere and form, a common practice in Romanticism, which Fohr embraced in his short artistic career. The work is part of the Städel Museum's collection.
