Plempen in een sloot, ten zuiden van Amsterdam 1927

Maurits van der Valk's 1927 drawing "Plempen in een sloot, ten zuiden van Amsterdam" depicts a serene scene of boats docked on a shallow canal. Van der Valk, a Dutch painter and illustrator, was known for his detailed landscape drawings, often capturing the beauty of the Dutch countryside. This work, created with meticulous lines and light washes, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the subtle textures of water, earth, and boats. This intimate portrayal of a quiet moment in the Dutch landscape is a fine example of van der Valk's artistic style and his appreciation for the everyday beauty of his surroundings.
