Landscape with a River and a Village 1620 - 1638

"Landscape with a River and a Village" is a pen and brown ink drawing by the Dutch artist Charles Cornelisz. de Hooch, dating from 1620-1638. The circular composition features a serene river scene, with a village nestled in the distance and a group of trees framing the foreground. The artist uses delicate lines to capture the subtle details of the landscape, creating a sense of calm and tranquility. The drawing, which is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a prime example of De Hooch's skill in rendering landscape scenes with meticulous detail and atmospheric depth.
