Loenen aan de Vecht, over het water gezien 1872 - 1944

"Loenen aan de Vecht, over het water gezien" (Loenen aan de Vecht, seen across the water), is a pastel drawing by Frans Smissaert, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes. Created between 1872 and 1944, this artwork depicts the picturesque village of Loenen aan de Vecht, Netherlands. The drawing showcases a tranquil scene, with a river reflecting the overcast sky and a prominent church tower in the distance. The soft, pastel tones lend a dreamlike quality to the composition, exemplifying Smissaert’s skillful handling of the medium. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the beauty of the Dutch countryside as captured by Smissaert.
