Waldpartie, ein Weg schlängelt sich an einem rechts liegenden baumlosen Hügel vorbei in einen Laubwald hinein, links im Hintergrund einige Hütten 

Anthonie Waterloo created this Waldpartie drawing with pen and brush in gray ink, now held at the Städel Museum. The composition draws us into a serene woodland scene, defined by fluid lines and tonal washes. Notice how the path meanders, guiding our gaze into the forest's depths, while the bare hill to the right provides a contrasting open space. The trees are rendered with delicate strokes, creating a play of light and shadow that evokes a sense of depth and atmosphere. Waterloo masterfully uses line and texture to differentiate between elements—the soft foliage against the solid ground. This formal structure invites us to consider the relationship between nature and the act of representation. The drawing’s monochromatic palette focuses our attention on the formal elements, revealing the underlying structure that shapes our perception and understanding of the landscape.
