View of a Small House Built into a Rock 1576 - 1636

This etching, created by Isaak Major between 1576 and 1636, showcases a picturesque landscape featuring a small house built into a rock. The scene is framed by a dense grove of trees on the left and right, creating a sense of depth and seclusion. A winding stream flows through the foreground, leading the eye to a small bridge that connects the two sides of the composition. The use of delicate lines and shading creates a sense of tranquility, highlighting the natural beauty of the environment and reflecting the artistic style of the 16th and 17th centuries.
