Mountain Stream with Rapids is a 1842 ink by Caspar Johann Nepomuk Scheuren, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a wild, black-and-white scene of a mountain stream. The water rushes fast, full of rocks and white foam. Trees stand tall on the left, their branches sharp and full of lines. The sky above is busy with swirling clouds, almost like smoke. The artist used tiny scratches to make all these details. Those lines create the water’s movement and the trees’ rough edges.
