A Path in the "Haagse Bos", The Hague 1648 - 1671

Jan de Bisschop’s “A Path in the “Haagse Bos”, The Hague” is a 17th-century drawing that captures a fleeting glimpse of a wooded path in the Hague, Netherlands. Using brown ink and wash, the artist emphasizes the dense foliage with loose, gestural strokes, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric light. This work is a testament to de Bisschop’s skill in capturing the beauty of nature, and it remains a striking example of Dutch landscape drawings.
