Wooded Landscape with a Bridge is a 1650 ink by Antonie Waterloo, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet forest scene with tangled trees and bushes crowding the middle ground. A small bridge arches over a narrow stream near the bottom, where a few tiny figures walk. The background fades into more trees and a faint sky, all drawn in dark, scratchy lines. The artist used a method called etching to create these deep, textured marks. The paper has a visible grid pattern, common for this kind of printmaking. Look up etching to see how artists like this carved images into metal plates.
