Woods Bordered by a Stream 

Herman van Swanevelt's "Woods Bordered by a Stream" is a classic example of Dutch landscape art, capturing the serene beauty of nature. The print depicts a winding stream flowing through a dense forest, punctuated by a group of figures in the foreground. The artist's use of light and shade creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, while the meticulous details of the foliage and rocks contribute to the overall realism. This piece embodies the 17th-century Dutch fascination with the natural world, and its peaceful composition invites viewers to appreciate the tranquility of the scene.
