Gezichten op de dorpen Zyfflich en Niel in Duitsland Possibly 1731 - 1737

This pencil drawing, created by Abraham de (II) Haen between 1731 and 1737, depicts two village views: Zyfflich and Niel in Germany. The drawing is characterized by its delicate lines and simple composition, focusing on the church spires and surrounding trees of the villages. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, demonstrates Haen's skill in capturing the essence of these rural landscapes. It exemplifies the 18th-century interest in documenting everyday scenes and provides a glimpse into the architectural character of these German villages.
