Twee schepen op een kalme rivier 1797 - 1870

"Twee schepen op een kalme rivier" is a watercolor by Dutch artist Andreas Schelfhout, known for his masterful depiction of Dutch landscapes. Completed between 1797 and 1870, the work showcases Schelfhout's skilled use of light and shadow to capture the peaceful atmosphere of a river scene. Two boats, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze, are anchored on the calm water, while a distant shoreline and a solitary buoy add depth to the composition. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Schelfhout's contribution to the Dutch Romantic landscape tradition.
