Getting started with the collection:
View of the Amstelveenseweg outside Amsterdam
reed pen and brown ink, some areas deliberately rubbed with a finger or brush, on light brown cartridge paper, c. 1660-1662
At the centre is the Amstelveenseweg disappearing into the distance towards Amstelveen. To the left of this road is a ditch with a stone bridge over it. A path under the trees leads via an entrance gate to a house, part of the roof of which is represented. Rembrandt first drew the scene sketchily with a reed pen, then used a brush or wet finger to add some shadows.
