Wooded Landscape
Anthonie Waterloo
1630–90 · Black chalk and brush and black ink, gray and grayish black wash, heightened with white. Verso: (by the artist?) in pen and brown ink over black chalk. · Robert Lehman Collection
Anthonie Waterloo, a productive topographical draftsman, sketched the landscape in and around his native Utrecht. He also travelled west to Brussels and east to northern Germany, and as far as Gdańsk. This drawing recalls the countryside on Holland’s eastern border as well as the wooded area around Brussels. Waterloo made many drawings of these areas, often in black chalk and gray wash heightened with white. His darkly shaded wooded views nicely capture contrasting light in the voids.
