J.C. Erhard is a 1822 ink by Johann Adam Klein, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man sitting on a wooden bench, holding a book and a quill pen. He is dressed in a long coat, hat, and boots, with a bag beside him. The background features a serene landscape with trees, mountains, and a body of water. The man appears to be engaged in writing or reading, surrounded by the natural beauty of the outdoors. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene. This etching is reminiscent of the works of other Romantic-era artists, such as Caspar David Friedrich.
