En borg 1598 - 1601

"En borg" is a detailed pen and ink drawing by Jacob Savery I, completed between 1598 and 1601, now held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The drawing depicts a fortified castle, likely in the Netherlands, with a large tower dominating the composition. The precise location is unknown, but the meticulous detail suggests Savery I's keen eye for architectural features and urban landscapes. This work reflects the flourishing artistic scene of late 16th-century Holland, where landscape and architectural subjects were popular themes in both painting and drawing.
