Fluß mit breitem, niedrigem Wasserfall 

Franz Kobell created this drawing of a wide, low waterfall with pen and brown ink at an unknown date. The drawing is anchored by the horizontal lines of the water's flow and the layered landscape, counterpointed by the verticality of the waterfall and the bare tree to the left. The meticulous layering of lines creates texture and depth, guiding our eyes through the scene. The consistent use of hatching and cross-hatching gives a sense of movement, particularly in the water. Kobell's precise strokes capture the tranquility and raw power of the natural world. He destabilizes the conventional landscape by focusing on the detailed surface of the waterfall. The drawing functions as more than just an aesthetic portrayal. It's an engagement with how nature's forms can be deconstructed and represented through the structural use of line and form. This challenges our perception and understanding of the natural world, inviting ongoing interpretation.
