Der Lattenberg bei Salzburg (The Lattenberg near Salzburg)

Ludwig Richter

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a high vantage point. The horizon stretches into the distance, revealing rugged mountainous terrain. In the foreground, a group of people is engaged in daily activities near a stone well or trough. Various tools are scattered around. The brushstrokes create texture in the rocky terrain, foliage, figures, and structures. The color palette is monochrome, with shades of gray typical of engravings. Trees and a small building are depicted on the right side. Rolling hills lead up to the skyline in the background.
