通往林間空地的小徑 by Nicolas Poussin, 1635-1640

Nicolas Poussin is usually known for his super strict, classical paintings filled with perfect geometry and mythology, but here he lets loose! Created around 1635-1640, this sepia-toned drawing shows a path winding into a sun-dappled forest. It feels like a snapshot of a quiet walk, capturing the way light filters through the leaves. It's a rare glimpse into how this Baroque master observed nature directly, likely as a study for a larger work. You can even spot his signature 'N. Poussin fe' (Latin for 'made it') in the bottom left corner, proving he was proud of this little forest escape.
