Rocky mountain landscape with a castle

Jacques de Gheyn (II) (mentioned on object), 1603

This landscape is a product of De Gheyn’s imagination. The artist began with long, curving pen lines somewhere on his sheet of paper and let them evolve into this grotesque landscape, which one would never encounter in reality.
