Reiskoets in een berglandschap 1811 - 1873

"Reiskoets in een berglandschap" (1811-1873) by Pieter van Loon (1801-1873) depicts a horse-drawn carriage traveling through a mountainous landscape. The watercolor painting captures the grandeur of the natural setting, with a focus on the detail of the coach and its passengers, while maintaining a light and airy atmosphere. The scene likely depicts a moment from van Loon's own travels, and the work provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century travel. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
