모래톱의 여행자들 by Philips Wouwerman, 17th century

Philips Wouwerman was absolutely obsessed with painting horses, and you can see why in this breezy 17th-century Dutch landscape. A traveler on a pale horse pauses on a sandy path while a scruffy dog trots ahead, seemingly leading the way toward a cozy cottage hidden on the hill. Notice the dramatically leaning, broken tree on the right? It adds a touch of wild, untamed nature to an otherwise peaceful country stroll, perfectly capturing the everyday charm that made Wouwerman a superstar of the Dutch Golden Age.
