Landscape with Figures 1600 - 1700

This anonymous drawing, "Landscape with Figures," depicts a wooded scene with several figures interacting in the foreground. The figures are partially obscured by trees in the background, which create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist employed a monochrome, brown wash technique, typical of drawings from this period, contributing to the serene, pastoral quality of the artwork. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this drawing is a testament to the enduring appeal of landscape art, particularly in the 17th century.
