Stadsgezichten aan het water en een brug c. 1780 - 1800

"Stadsgezichten aan het water en een brug" (City Views on the Water and a Bridge) is a collection of three sketches by Dutch artist Barend Hendrik Thier (1743-1811). Completed around 1780-1800, these delicate drawings in pen and ink capture the picturesque scenes of Dutch townscapes. The scenes depict a bridge over a canal, a church with windmills, and a broken boat. This work showcases Thier's mastery of perspective and his ability to convey the tranquility of Dutch life through simple lines and washes. The drawings are a glimpse into the artist's observational skills and his appreciation for the beauty of everyday scenes.
