Landscape with the Conversion of Saint Paul

Augustin Hirschvogel

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a panoramic landscape view from an elevated position. The horizon consists of hills and rolling landscapes with small architectural structures scattered. On the left, there are buildings with pitched roofs surrounded by trees. There are trees, grass patches, and a fenced path leading into the landscape. In the center, there is a distinct tree with textured bark. Toward the right, there is a large stone structure on a rocky elevation. The drawing style is detailed, resembling an etching. A cloud on the right has lines extending downward. The color palette is monochrome, using black ink on a white background.
