Oude stadswal 1741 - 1820

"Oude stadswal" (Old City Wall) is a delicate pencil drawing by Dutch artist Abraham Delfos, created between 1741 and 1820. The drawing depicts a picturesque scene of a thatched-roof farmhouse nestled amidst a tranquil landscape. A meandering river flows through the foreground, with a solitary fisherman casting his line. The meticulous detail and subtle shading evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, characteristic of Delfos's artistic style. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of the Dutch countryside.
