View of Sloterdijk, near Amsterdam c. 1650

"View of Sloterdijk, near Amsterdam" is a drawing created by Roelant Roghman, a prominent Dutch artist known for his landscapes, around 1650. This pen-and-ink drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a serene Dutch countryside scene with delicate detail. Roghman's masterful use of line and shadow conveys the peaceful atmosphere, highlighting the village of Sloterdijk nestled along a water channel, its houses and church silhouetted against the expansive sky. This work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with landscape painting and its emphasis on capturing the beauty of everyday life.
