1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Two Logs in the Water is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet, detailed landscape with two logs floating in a river. Trees line the banks, and a few people are scattered around—some standing, some working near the water. The scene feels still, with rough textures in the rocks and trees. The artist used a technique that creates fine lines and shading, making the scene look almost three-dimensional. This is likely an etching, where the design is scratched into a metal plate. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists create prints like this.
