Grain Field at the Edge of a Wood (Corn Field) is a 1655 ink by Jacob van Ruisdael, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a serene landscape with a grain field at the edge of a wood. The field is dotted with trees, and the sky above is filled with clouds. In the foreground, a large tree stands tall, its branches stretching upwards. The artist's use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The contrast between the light and dark areas adds to the overall mood of the piece. For more information on the artist behind this beautiful landscape, look up Ruisdael, Jacob van.
