Arcadian Landscape with a Scene of Sacrifice after 1684

Johannes Glauber's "Arcadian Landscape with a Scene of Sacrifice" is a drawing depicting a pastoral scene with a figure performing a ritualistic offering at an altar in the foreground. The figure is kneeling and the altar is topped with a bust, with smoke rising from it, possibly representing a sacrifice to the gods. Glauber, a Dutch artist known for his landscape and genre paintings, often incorporated classical themes into his work. The drawing likely dates from the late 17th century and showcases his meticulous detail and attention to light and shadow.
