1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Boulder in the Woods is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a quiet forest scene in black and white. A large rock sits in the middle, surrounded by trees with detailed branches and leaves. The ground has small plants and shadows, while the sky is just a thin line at the top. The artist used sharp lines to create texture, making the trees look almost three-dimensional. This kind of printmaking is called etching. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made their marks.
