Looking Questions
- Find a man and his dog in this painting. How would you describe how this man is feeling? Is the man's mood reflected at all in the landscape? How?
- Imagine that the man and the dog were not in the painting. How would that change the effect of the landscape?
- Why does Ruisdael decide to focus on the landscape rather than on the man and the dog?
