Landscape with Figures on the Bank of a River 1625 - 1675

Gaspard Dughet’s red chalk drawing, *Landscape with Figures on the Bank of a River*, depicts a serene scene of a river winding through a lush landscape. The meticulous hatching technique creates a sense of depth and texture in the trees, rocks, and water. The small figures in the foreground and the distant hills add a sense of scale and perspective. Dughet was a master of landscape painting, and this drawing showcases his talent for capturing the beauty of nature.
