Schwabing is a 1818 ink by Wilhelm von Kobell, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene with two people walking along a path by a river. One person is holding a stick, and a dog sits nearby. In the background, there’s a small village with a church steeple and scattered trees. The artist used fine lines to show texture—like grass, water, and clothing—making everything look simple but detailed. The paper has a rough, textured surface, which adds to the drawing’s old feel. Next, check out how etching works to see how artists like this create these delicate lines.
