Bergachtig landschap met een houten brug 1613

"Bergachtig landschap met een houten brug" ("Mountainous Landscape with a Wooden Bridge"), a pen and wash drawing by Abraham de Vries (1585-1650), is a small but detailed depiction of a mountainous landscape with a bridge crossing a body of water. The artwork, dated 1613, is a testament to de Vries's skill in capturing the essence of nature through his delicate brushstrokes. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, while the delicate washes of blue and brown evoke the soft hues of the natural world. De Vries, known for his landscapes and seascapes, was a key figure in the Dutch Golden Age of art. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
