Travelers in a Forest
Herman Saftleven II Dutch
Not on view
Herman Saftleven was a prolific draftsman. Among the diverse subjects that he treated, he made many drawings of invented landscapes drawn in a combination of brown wash and black chalk. This beautiful sheet depicting travelers walking through a forest on a windy day was rendered with great freedom. Saftleven created depth and a play of light through the foliage by masterfully layering the black chalk with wash and small touches of white heightening.
