Johann Martin Morat
vor 1841
About the object
On the left in the foreground completely cast in shadow, Morat has placed a draughtsman who, like Morat himself, is engaged in capturing the panorama of the "beautiful Au" or river valley before him. By using the figure of the draughtsman, which testifies to the authenticity of the depiction, Morat has availed himself of a motif that features in the etchings of Matthäus Merian (1593-1650), for example.
