Links an einem Fluss eine Stadt mit Kirche und Festungsmauer, weiter links zwei Windmühlen 

This drawing by Dutch artist Jan van Goyen depicts a city on the opposite bank of a river. The city is dominated by a tall church spire and is encircled by a defensive wall. In the foreground, two windmills and a tall mast are visible. Goyen's work is a great example of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with landscapes and cityscapes. The loose, atmospheric style of the drawing and the focus on light and shadow are hallmarks of the artist's work. This work is a fine example of a river landscape, a popular genre within the Dutch Golden Age.
