Bleekvelden in de duinen bij Haarlem 1612 - 1652

"Bleekvelden in de duinen bij Haarlem," a 17th-century etching by Claes Jansz. Visscher, depicts a picturesque landscape with a cluster of traditional Dutch houses, nestled amidst the dunes near Haarlem. The composition is characteristic of Visscher's detailed style, with meticulous renderings of the thatched roofs, the surrounding landscape, and the tiny figures of people engaged in their daily tasks. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the rural life and architecture of 17th-century Holland.
