Figuren op een bevroren vaart 1828

Andreas Schelfhout's "Figuren op een bevroren vaart" (1828) is a masterful example of Dutch Romanticism, showcasing Schelfhout's keen eye for detail and talent for capturing the atmospheric beauty of a winter landscape. The drawing depicts a frozen canal with figures bundled up, a solitary figure walking in the distance, and bare trees lining the banks, all rendered in soft gray tones. This delicate pencil drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Schelfhout's mastery of the medium and his captivating portrayal of the Dutch winter.
