Hilly Landscape with Ships

Italienische Grafik 1395–1568, ca. 1570

The image displays a rocky, tree-covered landscape. Two boats are in the water near the shore, with figures on them. The shoreline leads to hills with a building complex among trees. The horizon is vaguely defined by the water's edge. The artwork features light brushstrokes with brown ink, white highlights, and a blue-toned paper. The color palette includes soft browns, whites, and blue-greys.
