Burgruine, rechts ein hoher Steg, ein Bauer tränkt seine Pferde 

Nicolaes Berchem's "Burgruine, rechts ein hoher Steg, ein Bauer tränkt seine Pferde" is a delicate brown ink drawing depicting a rural landscape with a ruined tower overlooking a river, where a man leads several horses to drink. This is a typical example of Berchem's landscape drawings that often featured pastoral scenes with figures, animals, and architectural elements. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the foliage, the crumbling stonework of the tower, and the gentle movement of the water. The drawing likely dates from Berchem's later career when he had become a renowned artist, and its delicate execution exemplifies the meticulousness and precision of his draughtsmanship.
