"Dorpsgezicht in Kinderdijk" is an etching by Dutch artist Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, created in 1887. The work depicts a view of the village of Kinderdijk, famous for its windmills, with a pathway leading to the water's edge where two sailboats are visible. The artist's meticulous lines and detailed rendering capture the quiet charm of the Dutch countryside, highlighting the unique character of the landscape. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Van 's-Gravesande's mastery of the medium and his keen eye for capturing the beauty of everyday life in the Netherlands.
