Anthonie Waterloo's large-scale drawings of dense woods crowding the banks of small rivers include some of the most powerful and atmospheric of all the many landscape drawings produced in the Netherlands during the 17th century. Energetically worked in a mixture of types of black chalk of various densities and darknesses, with deft touches of grey wash, they are often, as here, works not only of great power, but also of remarkable tonal and textural richness and subtlety.
