Hesbeen is a 1660 ink by Roelant Roghman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a quiet village by a river. A church with a tall steeple sits near the center, surrounded by small houses with thatched roofs. Two people walk along the bank, one carrying a long pole, while trees frame the edges. The water looks calm, and a few boats rest by the shore. The word *Hesbeen* is written at the top—it’s the name of this Dutch village. The artist used lines to create depth, making the scene feel real despite the monochrome tones. Want to know more?
