Figuren met manden op oever Possibly 1759

"Figuren met manden op oever" (Figures with Baskets on the Shore) is a pen and ink drawing on paper by Pierre Charles Canot, a French artist active during the 18th century. The work depicts an idyllic scene with a small group of figures gathered under a palm-thatched pavilion near a body of water. Canot's delicate lines create a sense of peaceful tranquility, characteristic of his style. This charming scene, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's mastery of detail and his fascination with exotic landscapes.
