Römische Ruinen mit Staffagefiguren 

Franz Kobell was a German artist known for his detailed drawings of landscapes and architectural ruins. This work, *Römische Ruinen mit Staffagefiguren*, depicts a scene of Roman ruins overgrown with trees and foliage. In the foreground, figures are depicted in the landscape, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. The delicate hatching and cross-hatching technique employed by Kobell creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the drawing. The image highlights the beauty and melancholy of ancient ruins, a theme that resonated with Romanticism.
