Etching of a huge gnarled beech tree with twisted trunk and sprawling branches, with small figures at lower left.

De grote beuk

An etching of a massive, gnarled beech tree fills the right side of the sheet, its twisted trunk and sprawling branches reaching across the composition. Tiny figures stand at lower left beside thinner trees that fade into the hazy distance, all rendered in fine hatched lines.

Español: La gran haya, aguafuerte de Ruisdael

Un aguafuerte muestra un enorme y retorcido haya que ocupa el lado derecho de la hoja, con el tronco torcido y las ramas extendidas por toda la composición. Pequeñas figuras aparecen en la parte inferior izquierda, junto a árboles más delgados que se desvanecen en la distancia brumosa, todo trazado con finas líneas de rayado.

Uma gravura de uma enorme faia retorcida ocupa o lado direito da folha, com o tronco torcido e os galhos espalhados por toda a composição. Pequenas figuras aparecem no canto inferior esquerdo, ao lado de árvores mais finas que se dissolvem na distância enevoada, tudo traçado em linhas finas e hachuradas.
