Landscape with a View of the Sea at Sunset is a pen and ink wash drawing by Flemish painter Joos de Momper. It was painted in 1610, and is now in the British Museum in London. [1] The drawing is valuable in that it is the only drawing signed and dated by de Momper. [2]
The drawing shows a view of the sea with the setting sun. A bay with sailing boats and mountains are visible in the distance. The painting is bordered by two wooded flanks. To the right, close to the foreground, there sits a cottage facing a country road. [2] [3]
The painting was acquired by the British Museum in 1824. [2]
