A View across the Inn Valley to the Alps and Neubeuern is a 1790 ink by Johann Georg von Dillis, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet valley with rolling hills and a few scattered trees. A large tree with bare branches stands on the right, while others in the distance have green or yellow leaves. The ground has a rocky path winding through grass, and faint mountains rise in the far background. The artist used soft watercolors and ink to keep the scene light and airy. The trees and hills fade into the distance, giving a sense of depth. Next, check out the technique: watercolor, glazing to see how artists build layers of color.
