About the piece

Created in 1884 by Karol Ľudovít Libay, this pencil and wash drawing offers a tranquil view of the Hron River near Banská Bystrica. The composition elegantly balances the delicate textures of riverside trees and a rustic wooden structure against a soft, atmospheric backdrop of distant hills, embodying the refined romantic realism of 19th-century European landscape traditions.
