Landscape with Trees and Craggy Rocks is a 1786 ink by Franz Innocenz Josef Kobell, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a rough, inked landscape with jagged rocks and twisted trees. The lines are uneven, almost sketchy, and the paper has a textured look. Shadows and light are suggested by thick, overlapping strokes. The artist used pen and brown ink to create a sense of depth with simple marks. It feels like a quick study, not a polished work. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
