Two Plank Hedges is a 1621 ink by Willem Buytewech, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a landscape with two plank hedges and a few trees. The hedge on the right is taller and more prominent, while the one on the left is shorter and less detailed. In the background, there are some trees and a cloudy sky. The artist used a range of lines and textures to create depth and detail in the image. The hedges are rendered in thick, rough lines, while the trees are depicted in thinner, more delicate strokes. The sky is filled with soft, feathery clouds. The National Gallery of Art, Washington holds many etchings, including works by Rembrandt.
