Gezicht op de IJsselpoort in IJsselstein 1750 - 1850

This anonymous drawing, “Gezicht op de IJsselpoort in IJsselstein,” (circa 1750-1850) depicts a picturesque view of the IJsselpoort, a historic gate in the Dutch town of IJsselstein. The artwork is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch landscape drawing, capturing the charm of the town and its surroundings with delicate lines and subtle shading. The IJsselpoort stands prominently in the center, with its two towers and arched gateway, while a tranquil canal flows in the foreground, where a small boat with three figures rows towards the viewer, conveying a sense of peaceful movement. The drawing is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
