Landscape with Monastery is a 1673 ink by Sébastien Le Clerc I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a grand building with a tall dome and smaller towers, surrounded by a long white wall. In front, a rider on horseback moves along a road by a body of water. Trees and a pyramid-shaped hill appear on the right side. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, like the wavy water and the rider’s cloak. This style was common in etchings of the time. Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
