The Isar with Boulders on the Isarhohe

Franz Innocenz Josef Kobell

National Gallery of Art

This image displays a landscape from an elevated perspective. The horizon is near the upper third of the image, portrayed by distant mountains. Two figures are seated on a hill with a winding path leading further into the scene. Trees are depicted with detailed brushstrokes, dominating the landscape. The sepia color palette provides a vintage feel. In the distance, a small structure is nestled among the trees.
