Wheat Fields is a late 17th-century oil painting by Jacob van Ruisdael.

Wheat Fields is a Dutch landscape painting created by Jacob van Ruisdael.

In addition to familiar pastoral themes, Ruisdael included intricate depictions of various forms of flora.

Attention was not only lavished on the uniform blocks of wheat, but also on the verdant tendrils of grass and weeds that has encroached upon the roadway.

It was selected by the New York art historian Thomas Craven as one of Ruisdael's best landscape compositions.
