Wenceslaus Hollar

Artist, Bohemian, 1607 - 1677

The image shows a landscape with a fortified structure near a body of water. The horizon is low in the composition, with the building and a plume of smoke drawing the eye. The style is detailed line etching with a monochromatic color palette of black on a cream background. A small boat is visible, and distant structures are depicted with finer lines.
