Adriaen Brouwer completed this nocturnal dune landscape bathed in moonlight. The atmospheric scene shows his range beyond tavern subjects. Sandy dunes under a night sky create a mood of quiet solitude.
Brouwer influenced both Flemish and Dutch painting with his free brushwork. This landscape hangs at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
