A native of Rotterdam, de Vlieger was one of the leading marine and landscape painters of the early seventeenth century. His drawings, like his paintings, were admired for their silvery light effects, often a result of employing black and white chalk on blue paper. In this sheet, he explores the play of light and shadow on a clump of tree stumps.
