Landscape with a Bridge and Two Figures 1606 - 1680

"Landscape with a Bridge and Two Figures" is a drawing by Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi, created sometime between 1606 and 1680, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The drawing features a picturesque landscape with a bridge spanning a river, with two figures in the foreground. The artist's meticulous penmanship and the delicate shading of the trees lend an air of serene beauty to the scene. The subject of the landscape drawing, which depicts a seemingly peaceful natural setting, is characteristic of Grimaldi's artistic focus on landscape painting.
