Shepards in the Roman Campagna

Pencil tinted, 169 x 242 mm, signed and dated at the bottom right: »L.Richter. 1847«

From 1823 to 1826 Richter lived in Rome where he produced many landscape sketches during excursions to the Monti Sabini and Albani. Long after his return to Germany he took recourse on them.
According to Prof. Hans Joachim Neidhardt (Dresden) the drawing is a very characteristic and important composition of Richter.
