Mountainous Landscape with a Cart: pl.8 is a 1660 ink by Roelant Roghman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a winding river cutting through rocky hills. A lone tree stands near the center, its bare branches reaching upward. On the riverbank, a group of people and animals—likely cows—are gathered around a cart, while others stand or walk nearby. The artist used fine lines to build up texture, making the water look rough and the hills feel solid. The tiny details in the rocks and trees show how much care went into this small scene. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one create prints with acid and metal plates.
