Description: | A reproduction produced by the Vasari Society of a drawing by Rembrandt. The drawing shows a rural village with a road leading round to a windmill in the left background. The road leads from the right foreground to the left middle ground, and to the left of is it a sloped area. To the right are a series of low buildings and in the centre of the composition there is a cluster of trees. Two figures are seated at the side of the road to the right.
Text from the accompanying booklet produced by the Vasari Society:
"No. 26
REMBRANDT
(b. 1606; d. 1669)
ENTRANCE TO A VILLAGE WITH A WINDMILL ON THE LEFT
Collection of the Duke of Devonshire, Chatsworth (from the Collection of N. A. Flinck).
H. de G. [Hofstede de Groot], 854; Lippman, 68. Pen and bistre and bistre wash. 14.3 x 18 cm. (5 5/8 x 8 1/8 in.)
A powerful example of Rembrandt's landscape drawing, probably no later that any of the others reproduced in this part (i. e. after 1645), but difficult to date with any certainty.
A. M. H."
