Gaspard Dughet, known as Gaspard Poussin after his brother-in-law Nicolas Poussin, created the drawing "Landscape with Fishermen" between 1625-1675. The drawing depicts a serene landscape with a river, rocky cliffs, and a group of fishermen. Dughet’s drawing utilizes a sophisticated technique that combines hatching and cross-hatching, which produces an effect of light and shadow. This drawing is a prime example of the Italian landscape tradition that flourished during the 17th century. This drawing is currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
