Landscape with River and Rock is a 1664 ink by Jan Hackaert, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet river scene with two people walking along the bank. One person holds a stick, and the other bends down near the water. Tall trees with thick branches line the shore, and the water looks calm and reflective. The whole scene is drawn in black lines on a light background, with no color. The artist used fine, detailed lines to show texture in the trees and rocks. This style was common in etchings, where the plate holds ink in grooves.
