Corpo di Cava is a 1844 graphite by Eduard Agricola, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a rocky hillside with a winding path and a few bare trees. The ground looks uneven, with some patches of grass and exposed stone. In the distance, there’s a faint outline of hills and a small building near a stream. The artist used light pencil strokes and soft watercolor washes, leaving some areas rough and others smooth. The brown paper background makes the scene feel earthy and raw. Next, look up watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up layers of color like this.
