Rivierlandschap met ruïne en waterval 1654

"Rivierlandschap met ruïne en waterval" is a pen and brown wash drawing on paper by the Dutch Golden Age artist Philips Huygens. The landscape depicts a river with a waterfall, a ruined building, and a small boat in the foreground. The drawing is characteristic of Huygens's work, which often features idealized landscapes with ruins and water features. The artist died young at the age of 23, leaving behind a small but significant body of work, including landscapes and portraits. This work is typical of his output in its delicate and finely detailed lines.
