The Golden Age is a 1644 ink by Netherlandish 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is called The Golden Age. It's an engraving on paper from 1644. The scene is set in a forest with trees and animals. There are many people, some sitting, some standing, and some lying down. They're all naked, and some are holding things like fruit or flowers. The atmosphere looks peaceful and happy. One interesting thing about this painting is the way the artist used cross-hatching to create shading and texture. This technique makes the image look detailed and realistic.
