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, rolling landscape with a river cutting through the middle. On the left, a few small buildings sit near the water’s edge, while on the right, a church tower rises above the flat fields. The land looks dry, with patches of grass and scattered trees, and the horizon stretches far away. The artist used fine lines to create texture—notice how the grass and water look almost woven. This style was tricky to do back then. Next, look up etching, drypoint to see how artists like this made prints.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
