The Road Crossing Mount Praco, from Ricci to Genoa is a 1764 ink by Franz Edmund Weirotter, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a winding road cutting through a rocky hillside. Trees cling to the slopes, and the path twists up toward a small village at the top. The sky is light and wavy, like clouds moving fast. The artist packed a lot into the scene—tiny people, animals, and buildings all fit in. This was made as a travel guide for a route from one town to another. Want to see more like this? Look up etching.
