River Scene with Boats 1610 - 1653

"River Scene with Boats" is a delicate pen and brown ink drawing by Simon de Vlieger, a prominent Dutch artist of the 17th century. Created between 1610 and 1653, the artwork depicts a serene river scene with several boats, their sails billowing gently in the wind. The scene is rendered with precise detail, capturing the intricate lines of the boats and the calm, reflective surface of the water. This drawing reflects de Vlieger's mastery of depicting maritime scenes and showcases the artist's penchant for capturing the peaceful and tranquil aspects of nature. This work can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
