This painting is called View of Houtewael near the Sint Anthoniespoort. It was made by Rembrandt van Rijn around 1650. The artist used a mix of reed pen, brown ink, and gray-brown wash on laid paper to create it. This mix of techniques is interesting because it shows how Rembrandt experimented with different materials. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Baroque.
