Two Seated Figures in a Landscape with Mountains and a Town (recto); Sketch of a Landscape with Mountains and Buildings (verso) 1505 - 1520

This anonymous drawing, created between 1505 and 1520, depicts two figures seated in a landscape with a distant town and mountains. The figures are drawn with delicate lines, their backs to the viewer, and their heads turned towards each other. The landscape is rendered in a more detailed style with numerous trees and a detailed view of the town nestled in the hills. This drawing, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the artistic interests of the early 16th century and is an excellent example of a drawing that blends figure study with landscape composition.
