This anonymous landscape drawing, created sometime between 1600 and 1700, showcases the artist's keen eye for detail and delicate use of red chalk. The composition features a rolling landscape with a cluster of trees dominating the right side of the frame, their leaves rendered in a light, airy style. In the distance, a structure resembling a tower suggests the presence of human activity, adding a sense of scale to the composition. This drawing offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of an unknown artist during a time of transition in landscape painting.
