The present landscape drawing is unusual within David's graphic oeuvre as, unlike the majority of his landscape drawings executed in gray wash, the present work is drawn purely in pen and brown ink over red chalk. Rosenberg and Prat include two highly comparable sheets in their catalogue raisonné of the artist's drawings,1 and a further sheet, similarly depicting a mountainous landscape, recently appeared on the French art market.2
