Walchensee landschaft (Walchensee Landscape) is a 1919 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a large body of water, possibly a lake, in the foreground. The water's surface reflects the surrounding mountains and sky, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. In the background, a few trees and hills are visible, adding texture and dimension to the scene. A closer look reveals the artist's use of drypoint technique, which creates a sense of texture and roughness on the paper. The black ink used in the drypoint process adds a sense of contrast and definition to the image. The artist, Lovis Corinth, is known for his landscapes and portraits.
