Haus auf einer Waldlichtung 

Philipp Rumpf created this drawing, "House in a Forest Clearing," using graphite. The composition emphasizes the interplay between the architecture and its natural setting. Rumpf uses a limited tonal range, primarily shades of gray, to create a subdued and atmospheric effect. Light seems to filter through the trees, casting soft shadows and highlighting the edges of the house and the foliage. The texture is suggested through delicate lines and shading. Structurally, the drawing is organized around a central clearing, which serves as a focal point, drawing the viewer's eye into the depths of the forest. The house, nestled amidst the trees, appears almost as an extension of the landscape itself. The use of line is particularly striking in the rendering of the trees. The vertical strokes convey a sense of height and density, while the softer lines suggest the organic forms of the foliage. Ultimately, the drawing serves not only as a representation of a specific place but also as a reflection on the relationship between humanity and nature, inviting contemplation on the harmony and balance between these realms.
