Landscape near Dalhem c. 1670

"Landscape near Dalhem" is a drawing by Dutch artist Valentijn Klotz, dating back to 1670. The piece depicts a picturesque landscape with a focus on a large, rocky outcrop in the foreground. The artist uses delicate lines to depict the rolling hills, trees and a small village nestled within the valley. Klotz's focus on detail and meticulous rendering of the natural world is characteristic of his work, and aligns with the Dutch Golden Age's interest in capturing realistic representations of the world. The drawing, measuring 172 mm by 257 mm, is a testament to Klotz's mastery of the pen and ink medium.
