River Landscape

Dutch Golden Age, 1649

The image displays a rural scene. The horizon is low in the composition, showing trees and a thatched-roof structure in the distance. The drawing features brushstrokes in shades of grey and sepia. In the foreground, there are foliage and plants, leading to a wooden shelter with two figures near a well. Further back, another person and a dog are near a small building. The sky is pale with light cloud cover, and a bird is flying above.
