- Physical Description
- This is a brown pen and gray wash drawing in a horizontal format. It shows a sweeping landscape scene with a wooded area in the foreground and distant mountains in the background. In the lower left corner, there is a group of three figures seated among tall trees with full foliage. There are other groups of people positioned in this wooded area. Beyond the trees, there is a rural village with thatched roof buildings, church steeples and windmills. Farmland extends out into a distant mountain range on the right.
- Subject Matter
- Hans Bol was one of the Netherlands' most successful landscape artists during the 16th century. He did many drawings that were a basis for engravings, ranging from large panoramas to miniature views of the countryside.
