Gezicht op een dorp tegen een heuvel 1806 - 1831

"Gezicht op een dorp tegen een heuvel" (View of a Village Against a Hill), a pencil drawing by Adrianus van der Koogh, showcases the artist's talent for capturing the tranquility of Dutch landscapes. Created between 1806 and 1831, the work depicts a charming village nestled at the foot of a hill, with a church spire reaching towards the cloudy sky. The soft, delicate lines and subtle shading evoke a sense of peace and serenity, typical of Romanticism in art. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures 300 mm in height and 436 mm in width, offering a glimpse into the rural life of 19th-century Netherlands.
