Traveler by a Waterfall is a 1734 ink by Johann Christoph Dietzsch, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet forest scene with a small waterfall in the center. Two people stand near the falls, looking toward the rushing water. Trees frame the scene, and rolling hills appear in the background under a cloudy sky. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the trees and water look almost three-dimensional. This style was common in the 1700s. Look up etching to see how artists like this one carved images into metal plates.
