About this work

Overview

The Isar with Boulders on the Isarhohe is a drawing created by Franz Innocenz Josef Kobell in 1809 using pen and brown ink with brown wash over graphite on laid paper.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing depicts a serene river landscape with a winding river, rocky hillside, and wooded trees. Two figures sit on a ledge, one reading and the other resting, near a large boulder and a small building.

Technique & Style

Kobell employed fine lines and shading to construct the scene, building up shapes through careful layers. The use of brown tones and subtle texture creates a soft, observational quality.
