1655
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
August: Landscape with Wagons is a 1655 by Pieter de Molijn, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of wagons pulled by horses moving along a muddy road. People walk beside them, carrying sticks or tools. In the background, a few more people and animals are scattered across a flat, open landscape. The artist focused on the rough texture of the road and the simple shapes of the wagons. This drawing looks like a quick study of daily life in the countryside. If you like this style, check out the Baroque movement for more dramatic scenes from everyday life.
