Rock Cliffs above a Stream is a 1818 graphite by Johann Christoph Erhard, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a graphite drawing on paper, titled "Rock Cliffs above a Stream." It depicts a rugged landscape with tall, rocky cliffs and a stream flowing at their base. The cliffs are covered in trees and bushes, adding a touch of greenery to the otherwise rocky terrain. The artist's use of graphite creates a sense of depth and texture, with the cliffs appearing rough and weathered. The stream adds a sense of movement and life to the scene, contrasting with the stillness of the cliffs. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
