River Landscape c. 1635 - 1638

Claude Lorrain, a celebrated Italian-French artist, created this pen and brown ink drawing "River Landscape" circa 1635-1638. Lorrain is known for his landscape paintings, and this small drawing showcases his mastery of light, shadow, and composition, creating a serene and picturesque scene of a river flowing through a wooded landscape with a bridge in the distance. The drawing is typical of his work in its emphasis on the natural world and its use of subtle detail to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.
