In many themes, the horizon line does not appear anywhere and an exercise of abstraction is necessary to deduce its height (always defined by the cut or convergence of the vanishing lines found in the theme).

Height of the horizon and height of the observer

The height of the horizon coincides with the position of the artist before their subject. A ground-level view requires the horizon line to be placed towards the top edge of the paper. Contrarily, a bird’s eye view would place the horizon line towards the bottom edge of the paper. In a still life, the horizon often coincides with the top edge of the table on which the objects are spread out.
