Open plek in het Haagse Bos 1637 - 1742

"Open plek in het Haagse Bos" is a 17th century etching by Dutch artist Roelant Roghman. The artwork depicts a clearing in the Hague Forest, a popular destination for leisure and recreation in the 17th century. The artist's meticulous rendering of the trees and foliage creates a sense of depth and realism, with the light falling softly across the scene. The etching is a fine example of Roghman's skill in depicting natural landscapes, a genre he was known for throughout his career. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
