Portrait of Swiss 19th Century

1800–1899

Swiss 19th Century was a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist’s small, precise drawings bring 19th-century Switzerland to life. One sheet shows a girl in a thick wool dress sitting still as a pine tree, all in soft black crayon. Another captures jagged peaks sliced by a wispy cloud—etched onto paper so thin you can almost see through it. They weren’t chasing fame, just saving quiet moments in pencil and ink. Want to step closer? Tap “Mountainous Landscape” to feel the cool mountain air in every line.
