"Gezicht op Joanna" is a drawing by A. de Nelly, created sometime between 1762 and 1783. It depicts a landscape view of the island of Johanna, which is located in the Comoros archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The drawing is characterized by a detailed rendering of the island’s natural features and human settlements, with several boats visible on the water. This drawing, a fine example of 18th-century landscape art, provides valuable insights into the island's geography and the life of its inhabitants during the time period.
