Canal with an Angler and Two Swans

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a low vantage point, at the level of the water. There are trees and a mountain range in the distance. The style features detailed line work, resembling an etching technique, with a monochrome color palette. A swan is on the water, and figures are engaged in an activity. Fields extend towards the mountains.
