Landschap in de omgeving van Haarlem 17th century

This 17th century anonymous drawing, titled "Landschap in de omgeving van Haarlem", is a delicate depiction of the Dutch countryside. The artist captures a serene scene of a small waterway, bordered by a wooden fence, with trees and a windmill visible in the distance. The use of delicate lines and shading creates a sense of calm and tranquility, characteristic of Dutch landscape drawings of the period. The drawing's small size, measuring only 154 mm by 201 mm, suggests it may have been a study or a preparatory work for a larger composition.
