About the piece
Painted in 1822, this oil study by the renowned landscape artist Johan Christian Dahl depicts the village of Plauen near Dresden. The work showcases Dahl's sensitive observation of light and water, with the River Weisseritz acting as a mirror for the architecture and the subtle tonal shifts of the overcast sky.
