The painting is called Forest Edge on a Brilliant Day. It was made by Franz Innocenz Josef Kobell around 1800. The artist used a brush with brown and gray wash on laid paper to create this work, which is a landscape. Kobell's use of brown and gray wash gives the painting a sense of depth and texture. This technique is interesting because it allows for subtle variations in tone and value. You can learn more about similar artwork at the movement: Baroque.
