Landschap met ruïne 1610 - 1670

Salomon van Ruysdael's "Landschap met ruïne" is a delicate pencil drawing, a testament to the artist's fascination with nature. Dated between 1610 and 1670, the work depicts a serene landscape scene with a prominent tree in the foreground, its branches reaching towards the sky. The composition is balanced, with the tree dominating the left side of the drawing, while a glimpse of a ruined building appears on the right, hinting at the passage of time and the enduring presence of nature.
