Der Watzmann bei Salzburg (The Watzmann near Salzburg) is a 1830 ink by Ludwig Richter, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet mountain scene with a big tree in the center. Two people stand near the tree, one holding an umbrella, while a small building sits in the background. The mountains rise sharply in the distance, and the sky is lightly sketched with clouds. The title at the bottom says *Der Watzmann bei Salzburg*—the Watzmann mountain near Salzburg. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like the rough bark of the tree or the folds in the people’s clothes. If you like this style, check out the technique: etching.
Adrian Ludwig Richter (September 28, 1803 – June 19, 1884) was a German painter and etcher, who was strongly influenced by Erhard and Chodowiecki.
