About this work
An everyday landscape: an unpaved road with cart tracks winding along some sand hills before a row of trees with the occasional rooftop peeking through them. Van de Velde certainly did not invent this, but saw it with his own eyes and drew it on the spot. Exactly where, however, is unknown; perhaps in the dunes along the Dutch coast, or in the Gooi region.
