Meindert Hobbema - The Avenue at Middelharnis (1689, 104 x 141 cm). The tall, thin poplar trees on either side dominate the painting, getting smaller and smaller as they get further away, giving a feeling of depth and distance. Beneath the large expanse of sky, a hunter is out with his dog, a couple talks in a lane, and a man prunes his crop of hops. The patches of shadow tell us that the sun is high to the left.
