Landskab med tospænder og stor gammel eg 1650

"Landskab med tospænder og stor gammel eg" (Landscape with a two-wheeled carriage and a large old oak) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan van Goyen, dating back to 1650. The piece, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a serene landscape featuring a prominent oak tree in the foreground and a carriage with horses in the distance. This small yet detailed sketch exemplifies Goyen's mastery of depicting nature and his interest in capturing fleeting moments in the Dutch countryside, demonstrating the beauty of ordinary scenes. This work is considered a prime example of Dutch 17th-century landscape art, showcasing the artist's talent for rendering light and detail with simple strokes.
