"Bergfeste auf bewaldetem Gipfel" (Mountain Fortress on a Wooded Summit) is a pencil drawing by German artist Peter Becker. The artwork depicts a picturesque landscape with a majestic castle perched atop a wooded hill. Becker's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye towards the imposing castle. The composition of the piece emphasizes the dominance of nature, with the castle appearing almost as a part of the surrounding landscape. This drawing, now housed at the Städel Museum, demonstrates Becker's skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world and its architectural elements.
