Gezicht op Den Haag vanuit de duinen Possibly 1659

Constantijn Huygens (II)'s "Gezicht op Den Haag vanuit de duinen", a pen and ink drawing dated possibly 1659, offers a glimpse of the Dutch city of The Hague seen from the dunes. This landscape drawing, with its emphasis on natural features like the windmill, trees, and dunes, is a typical example of the Dutch Golden Age's focus on realism and depiction of daily life. The minimalist style and fine lines of the drawing create a sense of tranquility and serenity, capturing a moment of stillness in the bustling Dutch landscape.
