Landscape with Mountains, a River, and Elijah and the Raven

Magdalena van de Passe, after Roelandt Savery and Adam Willaerts

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape viewed from an elevated perspective above a rocky and wooded scene. The horizon is in the upper section of the composition, populated with intricate lines indicating distant mountains and a cloudy sky. Detailed and fine etching techniques are employed, with precise strokes creating textures in the trees and rocks. The color palette is monochromatic, varying from grey to white to black. The scene includes jagged rocks, trees with twisting branches, a waterfall cascading down rocks into a stream, and shadowy figures near the water. The composition is framed by bare trees and branches.
