Draun River is a 1681 ink by Melchior Küsel, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a river cutting through a forest. Trees crowd the banks, their branches tangled. The water looks fast, with small waves. In the distance, hills fade into a soft line. The artist used fine lines to show how the river moves. The trees look real but are drawn with sharp, tight marks. Want to see more like this?
