Village beside a Canal

Johannes Ruisscher (reworked by Anthonie Waterloo)

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a river in the foreground, leading to a village with houses along its banks. The horizon is low, showing windmills and trees in the distance. The image uses fine linework with cross-hatching and light strokes, resembling etching or engraving techniques. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of ink to create depth and detail.
