From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Landscape with Wagon is a 1644 ink by Sébastien Bourdon, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a serene landscape with a horse-drawn wagon at its center. The wagon, positioned on a dirt path, is being pulled by two horses. In the background, a castle or large building sits atop a hill, surrounded by trees and bushes. The sky above is cloudy. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the engraving, including the texture of the trees and the folds of the wagon's canvas cover. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene. The engraving's attention to detail and sense of tranquility make it a compelling work.
