Artist: Cornelis Hendricksz Vroom the Younger, Dutch, ca. 1591–1661, Panorama with a Country House before an Inland Sea, ca. 1638–40, Pen and brown ink, sheet: 29.2 × 44.8 cm (11 1/2 × 17 5/8 in.), Trained by his father, Hendrick, who specialized in marine painting, Cornelis Vroom the Younger focused instead on landscape painting and drawing. As in this drawing, he often chose a high viewpoint, creating a calm panorama distanced from noisy everyday life. Depicted with meticulous, delicate penwork, the dunes’ shadows and the bands of dark trees lead the eye back into the landscape. Two small figures near a wagon in the middle distance are visible, as are some ships on the water and a roof of a country house, but Vroom appears to have been more interested in a celebration of the characteristic Dutch landscape than in any human narrative. , Made in The Netherlands, Dutch, 17th century, Works on Paper - Drawings and Watercolors
