Landschap met water en een figuur bij een boerenhut c. 1825 - 1829

Andreas Schelfhout's "Landschap met water en een figuur bij een boerenhut" (c. 1825-1829) is a black and white wash drawing depicting a rural landscape in the Netherlands. This drawing is a fine example of Schelfhout's prolific output of landscape drawings, and it is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The drawing depicts a small cottage near a body of water, surrounded by trees, with a single figure walking on the path leading to the cottage. Schelfhout is known for his meticulous attention to detail, evident in the delicate brushstrokes that render the foliage and the water. The peaceful scene reflects the romanticism of the time and is a testament to Schelfhout's skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world.
