From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Pilgrim with a Dog is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a lone traveler walking toward a small wooden hut. The hut sits in a forest, surrounded by bare trees and rocky ground. The person is carrying a bag and has a dog at their side. The artist used only black lines to create the scene. This makes the image look simple but detailed. Want to know more? Look up etching to see how artists make prints like this.
