Walchensee mit Jochberg (Walchensee with Jochberg)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching of a landscape with a horizon line in the middle of the composition. Mountainous forms meet the sky, and there are hills and mountain ridges beyond a water body. The etching uses a brushstroke technique with short, scratchy lines for texture and detail. The color palette is limited to black ink on a light tan background, creating contrast and emphasizing linear elements and textures in the landscape. Vegetation details are depicted with dense crosshatchings, while distant mountains appear softer and more abstracted.
