The Parable of the Sower

Adriaen Collaert after Hans Bol

National Gallery of Art

The image features a landscape with trees in the center, hills in the distance, small buildings scattered on the horizon, a cloudy sky, and a rider on a horse emblem. A man is depicted walking in an agricultural setting with birds nearby, leading to various buildings including a church and a castle-like structure. The scene is intricately drawn with fine lines, creating texture and depth in a primarily monochromatic color palette.
