Landscape with Waterfall and a Mother and Child 1800

Johann Peter Beer’s "Landscape with Waterfall and a Mother and Child," created in 1800, depicts a serene, picturesque landscape. The drawing showcases a cascading waterfall flowing into a tranquil pool, surrounded by lush foliage and rocky outcroppings. A mother and child are positioned in the foreground, adding a touch of human presence to the idyllic scene. This detailed work, executed in brown ink, is a testament to Beer's artistic skill in capturing the beauty of nature. It is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
