Gezicht op de Rijn bij Elten 1851 - 1902

Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande's "Gezicht op de Rijn bij Elten" is a graphite drawing depicting a serene scene along the Rhine River, likely in the early morning hours. A single barge is docked on the near bank, while the opposite shore, marked by a line of trees, is faintly visible in the distance. The composition highlights the calm, reflective waters of the Rhine and is rendered in a realist style that emphasizes the delicate details of nature. The drawing, a part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures a fleeting moment of peace and tranquility in the natural world.
