Gewässer mit Anglern und einem am gegenüberliegenden Ufer erhöht gelegenen Gebäude 

Franz Kobell made this pen and brown ink drawing titled 'Waters with Fishermen and a Building Elevated on the Opposite Bank' sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century. Kobell was part of a generation of artists who found themselves caught between the fading aristocracy and the rise of a middle class, each with its own expectations for art. During this time, landscape art served as a stage where the concerns of class, labor and nature were negotiated. Here, the fishermen occupy the lower right, their labor blending with the natural landscape. In contrast, the building sits elevated, a symbol of established power. Kobell uses the landscape to explore emerging social dynamics, reflecting on the shifting roles and values in a society undergoing profound change. This drawing captures a moment of reflection on how the land itself is perceived and utilized.
