An einer Baumgruppe zwei Eselstreiber von hinten 1689

"An einer Baumgruppe zwei Eselstreiber von hinten" (Two Donkey Drivers From Behind a Group of Trees), a 1689 watercolor by Jan Vermeer van Haarlem the Elder, depicts a pastoral scene with a group of donkey drivers and their animals on a winding path. The lush green trees, meticulously rendered with delicate washes, frame the scene, while distant hills and a hint of a structure in the background suggest a broader landscape. This characteristic Dutch landscape painting, now housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Vermeer's skilled use of watercolor to capture the details of nature and the tranquility of rural life.
