Rotsachtige rivieroever, met op de achtergrond enkele huizen 1818 - 1865

"Rotsachtige rivieroever, met op de achtergrond enkele huizen" (Rocky Riverbank, with some houses in the background) is a watercolor by Dutch artist Petrus Johannes Schotel. Created between 1818 and 1865, the artwork depicts a serene landscape with a rocky riverbank, a calm body of water, and a few houses nestled in the distance. The use of soft washes of color evokes a sense of tranquility, showcasing Schotel's mastery of the Romantic style. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the Dutch countryside as seen through the lens of 19th-century romanticism.
