"Landschap met huizen en een bruggetje" (Landscape with houses and a bridge) is a drawing by Dutch artist Jan van Goyen, created between 1606 and 1656, and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a typical Dutch landscape with a small bridge, houses, trees, and a stream in the foreground. The artist is known for his atmospheric landscapes, rendered in a subtle tonal palette, and his use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and perspective. This drawing is a fine example of van Goyen's masterful ability to capture the beauty of the natural world.
