Landscape with Wanderer

c. 1835
Brown pen on yellowish paper, 428 x 271 mm
Albertina, Vienna

The landscapes of Schwind are poetic and fairytale-like creations. Below a mountain bridge with a view of a distant, hilly landscape a man can be seen sunk in contemplation; the back of the wanderer with a harp slung over his shoulder also has a nostalgic effect.
