Landscape with a River 1862

Anton Melbye's "Landscape with a River" (1862) is a charcoal drawing capturing a serene, almost melancholic mood. The artwork depicts a wide, tranquil river winding through a marshland, its surface reflecting a cloudy sky. The composition is simple yet effective, emphasizing the vastness of the landscape and the tranquility of the scene. The drawing's soft, muted tones further contribute to its contemplative atmosphere, making it a compelling example of Danish Realism.
