Gezicht op een dorp aan een rivier 1742 - 1784

"Gezicht op een dorp aan een rivier" is a detailed drawing by Hendrik Spilman, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes. The drawing depicts a charming village scene with boats docked along a riverbank, a cluster of buildings including a church, and figures going about their daily lives. Created between 1742 and 1784, this work is an example of the Dutch Golden Age's enduring fascination with the beauty of everyday life. The delicate lines and meticulous detail capture the quiet charm of the scene. Currently held in the Rijksmuseum, "Gezicht op een dorp aan een rivier" provides a glimpse into 18th century Dutch life and Spilman's mastery of drawing.
