About the piece

Painted around 1650 by the renowned Dutch master Jacob van Ruisdael, this work depicts a rugged sandy track meandering through a coastal dune landscape. The composition is anchored by lush, wind-swept trees and a striking skeletal bare trunk, set against an expansive sky that showcases Ruisdael's legendary ability to capture light, shadow, and atmospheric weather.
