View of Cader Idris, Merioneth is a 1820 by Joshua Cristall, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a mountain range with sharp peaks and rolling hills. A narrow valley sits between them, filled with trees and a winding path. The artist used quick, light lines to suggest shadows and texture, leaving most of the paper plain. The drawing’s loose style makes the scene feel rough and wild, like the artist was sketching fast outdoors. The note in the corner says "Cader Idris" and "from Tegwyn," hinting at a real place.
