One of Rembrandt’s most spontaneous, drawing-like landscape sets, which gives the strong impression of being made outdoors. An incorrect eighteenth-century anecdote situates the bridge on the estate of Jan Six in Hillegom. However, we see a bridge over the Amstel with Ouderkerk on the horizon.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (Leiden, 15 July 1606 – Amsterdam, 4 October 1669) was a Dutch painter, etcher and draftsman. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest painters and etchers in European art, and as the most important Dutch master of the 17th century. Rembrandt produced a total of around three hundred paintings, three hundred etchings and two thousand drawings
