Nymphenburg is a 1818 ink by Wilhelm von Kobell, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene near a small town. In the foreground, a woman in a long dress stands alone by a plowed field, while a few people and animals work in the distance. The background has simple buildings, a church, and rolling hills under a flat sky. The artist used fine lines to show texture—like the furrows in the dirt—and left some areas lightly shaded. The title *Nymphenburg* suggests this is near Munich, Germany. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this create detailed prints.
