Rocky Landscape: pl.2 is a 1660 ink by Roelant Roghman, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a rough, rocky landscape with jagged cliffs and a small river cutting through the scene. Trees cling to the hillsides, and a few tiny figures walk along the shore or wade in the water. The sky is mostly empty, just a few brushstrokes to suggest clouds or mist. Notice how the artist used fine lines to create texture—every rock and tree branch looks almost real. The dark, scratchy marks make the scene feel wild and uneven. Want to see more prints like this?
