Fantastische Landschaft mit einem auf einem Felsen schlafenden Mann

Italienische Grafik 1640–1747, 1650er-Jahre

The image shows a landscape with a broad perspective. The horizon is in the upper third of the image, blending sky with distant rocky terrain. Delicate lines sweep across the surface, suggesting lush foliage and rolling hills. The style uses soft brushstrokes, pencil lines, and white highlighting for texture and depth. The palette includes warm tones like ochre, sienna, and white. A rock formation, bushes, and a figure are close by. In the distance, a river winds between stones and trees towards a figure with an animal. White highlights accentuate the path and water.
