About this work

This sketch shows a waterfall tumbling down rocky cliffs. Above it, a big building with arches sits on a hill. Trees and bushes dot the scene in soft pencil lines. The artist used blue paper to make the sky stand out. The waterfall looks rough, but the building is drawn carefully. Next, look up Thiersch, Ludwig to see more of his work.
