Rijswijk 1637 - 1677

"Rijswijk" is a 17th-century etching by Roelant Roghman, depicting a Dutch village with a church spire in the distance and a cluster of buildings in the foreground. The artist uses a technique of fine lines to create a sense of depth, conveying the architectural details of the buildings and the texture of the trees and clouds. This etching, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Roghman’s skill in depicting the everyday life and architecture of the Dutch countryside.
