From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Landscape with a View toward Haarlem (The Goldweigher's Field) is a 1651 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene with a winding river cutting through flat land. In the distance, a few buildings and a church tower peek over the horizon. The artist used loose, scratchy lines to show fields, trees, and a lone figure walking near the water. The paper has a textured, woven look—this was common in the 1600s. The artist’s name is signed in the corner, but the details are small. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists create prints like this.
