Gezicht op Schoonhoven 1860 - 1921

"Gezicht op Schoonhoven" is a pencil and watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Adolf le Comte. It depicts a view of the town of Schoonhoven in the Netherlands, across a river, as seen from a slightly elevated vantage point. The drawing is dominated by a large, dark cloud in the upper left corner of the canvas, which casts a shadow on the landscape below. The artist uses loose, gestural lines to capture the outlines of the buildings, trees, and river. This drawing, created sometime between 1860 and 1921, demonstrates Le Comte's interest in capturing the natural world, particularly the subtle beauty of the Dutch landscape.
