Country Village with Church Tower is a 1560 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet village by a river. Small houses with thatched roofs line the shore, and a church tower rises in the background. A few people walk near the water, carrying bundles, while trees dot the scene. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, giving it a soft, detailed look. This style was common in the early 1500s. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made prints.
