A Winding Road is a 1628 ink by Herman van Swanevelt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a winding road that curves through a landscape. A large tree stands on the left side of the road, with a few other trees and bushes scattered around it. The road is lined with trees and hills in the background. The artist used a range of lines and shading to create depth and texture in the scene. The road and trees are depicted in detail, while the background is more sketchy and impressionistic.
