Dating from around 1804, the volume captures a pivotal moment in Friedrich's artistic development: 33 drawings made during his walks through Dresden and its surroundings. Notably, the sketch of the oak tree on page nine features in Friedrich's contemporaneous paintings \u003ci\u003eCairn in Snow\u003c\/i\u003e (1807) and \u003ci\u003eThe Abbey in the Oakwood\u003c\/i\u003e (1809-10).
