Plaustrum Belgicum (The Belgian Wagon)

Johannes and Lucas van Doetechum after Pieter Bruegel the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with figures in the foreground. In the foreground, there are two people and a covered wagon. In the background, there is a town nestled among hills with mountains in the far background. The sky has swirling clouds. The scene is created using an etching technique with fine lines and cross-hatching for texture. The color scheme is monochromatic in shades of black and grey. In the far distance, there are ships near the town.
