Rivieroever met enkele bootjes 1653

"Rivieroever met enkele bootjes" (Riverbank with some boats) is a 1653 drawing by Jan van Goyen, a Dutch artist known for his detailed depictions of river landscapes. The drawing showcases van Goyen's signature style, with delicate lines capturing the quiet serenity of a Dutch riverbank, complete with a distant town and boats on the water. The piece, currently at the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of van Goyen's mastery of light and shadow, skillfully rendered in a monochromatic palette.
