Bomen aan een water waarop een boot met inzittenden 1776 - 1822

"Bomen aan een water waarop een boot met inzittenden" (Trees by a body of water with a boat with occupants) is a drawing by Dutch artist Jan Hulswit, who was active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The drawing, executed in soft gray tones, depicts a serene river scene with a small boat carrying three figures. The composition is dominated by a grouping of trees on the right bank, their branches reaching towards the sky and framing the tranquil water. This work is characteristic of Hulswit's landscape style, which often featured gentle, atmospheric scenes with a sense of calm and stillness. The artwork exemplifies Dutch landscape painting, known for its realistic portrayal of nature and its appreciation for the subtle beauty of the everyday.
