Boslandschap 1587 - 1636

Coenraet van Schilperoort's "Boslandschap" is a detailed pen and ink drawing depicting a dense woodland scene. Dating back to the late 16th or early 17th century, the drawing showcases Schilperoort's mastery of depicting natural elements. The intricate network of lines and hatching, combined with subtle shading, captures the light filtering through the foliage, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work exemplifies the artist's interest in the landscape, a prominent theme in Dutch art of the period. The drawing's small scale, measuring 154 mm by 201 mm, emphasizes its intimate and detailed nature.
