Label TextA commercially successful painter in the Dutch city of Haarlem, De Molijn was recognized for his delicate landscapes marked by clear distances and bright foregrounds. Here, a group of rustic figures rests on a sand dune that rises in front of an open vista. The artist employs a sweeping diagonal to unify a composition that combines finely rendered details, such as the foliage in the foreground trees, with the broadly painted expanse of the landscape beyond.
