Landschaft mit Burg über einem Hafen

Niederländische Grafik 1442–1620, 1540

The image depicts a drawing of a castle on rocky terrain in a rugged landscape. The horizon is low in the image, showing rolling hills, valleys, and small, indistinct shapes suggesting human habitation. The drawing features fine details and expressive lines, giving a sense of texture and depth. The color palette consists of muted, earthy tones and dark, monochromatic ink. In the foreground, a shepherd is tending to a flock of sheep, and in the background, there is a small town with clustered buildings extending towards the water. Above the castle, a flock of birds is in flight.
