Sketch from Parish in Norway is a 1826 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This drawing shows a quiet valley with steep hills on either side. A winding river cuts through the middle, and a small village sits along its banks. The buildings are simple, tucked into the landscape, while the hills rise sharply in the background. The artist used soft shading to show depth, making the hills look rough and the river look calm. This style was common in the early 1800s. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used nature to express emotion.
