Il Greco in Troia: Plate 5 is a 1688 ink by Arnold von Westerhout, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a lively crowd under a curved roof, surrounded by trees. People are walking, talking, and some are sitting or leaning on the structure. In the background, there’s a distant landscape with buildings and hills. The lines are precise, and the scene feels busy but orderly. The artist used shading to add depth, making the figures and trees stand out. This is part of a series called *Il Greco in Troia*, but it’s actually by Westerhout, not Il Greco.
