The Waterfall near Schladming in the Steiermark

About this work

This print shows a dark forest with a waterfall in the center, spilling over rocks into a calm pond. Two people stand on the left side, near the trees, looking toward the falls. The sky above is partly cloudy, with a big white cloud glowing where sunlight breaks through. The artist used a mix of black ink and gray wash to create deep shadows, while white gouache highlights the water and clouds. This style makes the scene feel dramatic and alive. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one use acid to carve fine lines into metal plates.
