"Gezicht op een bedrijf aan een rivier waar tapijten worden vervaardigd" is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Israel Silvestre, completed between 1631 and 1661. The artwork depicts a riverside scene with a large building, likely a factory or workshop where carpets were made, and several figures engaged in various activities. Silvestre's meticulous detail captures the bustling life of the riverside, and his use of soft colors creates a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this charming watercolor provides a glimpse into the everyday life of 17th-century Dutch society.
