Artist, Dutch, 1609/1610 - 1690

The image shows a landscape with a low horizon line. The area is gently rolling with vegetation, a windmill on the horizon, a large detailed tree on the right, and a building with steep roofs and chimneys partially hidden by the tree. The style is precise etching with attention to texture and contour. The color palette is black and white with strong contrast for depth and detail.
