Artist: Cornelis Hendricksz Vroom the Younger, Dutch, ca. 1591–1661, Panorama with a Country House before an Inland Sea, ca. 1638–40, Pen and brown ink, sheet: × cm (11 1/2 × 17 5/8 in.), Trained by his father, Hendrick, who specialized in marine painting, Cornelis Vroom the Younger focused instead on landscape painting and drawing. As in this drawing, he often chose a high viewpoint, creating a calm panorama distanced from noisy everyday life. Depicted with meticulous, delicate penwork, the dunes’ shadows and the bands of dark trees lead the eye back into the landscape.
