Tussen Thieusies en Strépy Possibly 1675 - 1678

"Tussen Thieusies en Strépy" is a pen-and-ink drawing by Constantijn (II) Huygens, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and architectural views. Created sometime between 1675 and 1678, the drawing depicts a panoramic view of a rural landscape with a village nestled amongst rolling hills. The delicate lines capture the subtle undulation of the terrain and the dense foliage, while the distant figures lend a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. This sketch, possibly a preliminary study for a larger work, demonstrates Huygens's keen observation and skillful rendering of the natural world.
