Forest Marsh with Travellers on a Bank (1640s-1650s), also known as The Travellers, is an etching by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob van Ruisdael. A few copies are known, including those in the collections of the British Museum, [1] Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Rijksprentenkabinet of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, and Museum Boymans-van Beuningen in Rotterdam. [2]
The cumulus clouds in the late states of the etching have been added later and are not by Ruisdael himself. [3]
Etching expert Georges Duplessis singled out The Travellers and The Cornfield as unrivalled illustrations of Ruisdael's genius. [4] Ruisdael's pupil Meindert Hobbema painted two copies of this etching. One, dated 1662, is in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. [2] A young John Constable said in 1797 that he wanted to copy the work; if he did, none of his copies have survived. [5] When Constable died he owned four Ruisdael etchings, one of which was The Travellers. [6]
The etching is catalogue number E13 in Slive's 2001 catalogue raisonné of Ruisdael, [7] Hollstein 4.III and Bartsch I.313.4.
