Niederländische Malerei 1675–1907, vers 1806

Soft green hills carpeted with plants sweep away from us in the bottom third of this horizontal painting on paper. A few terracotta-red roofs the upper expanses of tan-colored walls are nestled into the trees along the bottom edge of the paper. A few more structures with cream-white walls are tucked among trees in the distance before grassy hills surge up along the horizon. A few clouds drift across the hazy, pale blue sky above. The edges of the paper are visible especially along the top and bottom edges.
