Jacob van Ruisdael, Landscape with a Wheatfield





Jacob van Ruisdael, Landscape with a Wheatfield, Dutch, about late 1650s - early 1660s, Oil on canvas, 15 3/4 x 18 in.

This 17th century work by Jacob van Ruisdael seems to anticipate the later work of American painter Thomas Hart Benton, with its serpentine handling of the wheat fields and winding roads.
