Heuvellandschap met het dak van een huis 1610 - 1653

"Heuvellandschap met het dak van een huis" (Hillside landscape with the roof of a house) is a black chalk drawing by Dutch artist Simon de Vlieger. Created sometime between 1610 and 1653, this artwork is a prime example of the artist's mastery of landscape drawing. De Vlieger is known for his detailed depictions of the Dutch countryside, often featuring windmills, waterways, and farmhouses, such as the one subtly hinted at in this drawing. The drawing's soft lines and light shading create a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective, drawing the viewer into the serene landscape.
