'T Huys te Zuylen is a 1637 ink by Geertruydt Roghman, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a tall church with a steep roof and a smaller tower next to it. In front, a river runs through the scene, with a few people and animals walking along the bank. The buildings look old, with simple shapes and small windows. Trees and bushes line the riverbank, and the sky above is full of fluffy clouds. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures, making the buildings look solid. The scene feels calm, like a quiet moment in a small town.
