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 flat, grassy field with a few scattered trees and bushes. In the distance, a small town sits along a river, with a church tower and a few buildings. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried sketch—some areas are dark, others barely marked. The artist focused on light and shadow to show depth, not detail. This was made as a *counterproof*, meaning it’s a second impression from the same plate, often used to test the print. Look up etching next to see how artists like Rembrandt made these prints.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
