Bank 1830 - 1831

August Lucas's "Bank" is a delicate pencil drawing created between 1830 and 1831. The artwork depicts a crashing wave in the foreground, captured in a moment of dramatic action. The artist's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of movement and energy. The composition is balanced, with the crashing wave dominating the center while the surrounding sky and shoreline add a sense of spaciousness. The drawing is a testament to Lucas's skill in capturing the beauty and power of nature, a theme that was prominent in his artistic career. "Bank" is currently on display at the Städel Museum.
