Riviergezicht met hooischuit 1795 - 1821

"Riviergezicht met hooischuit" is a print by C. (prentmaker) Dietrich from 1795-1821 housed in the Rijksmuseum. The image depicts a river landscape scene with a hay boat being pulled by a team of people. The boat is shown in the middle ground of the artwork, moving towards the viewer through the water. The landscape is rendered in a detailed manner, with rolling hills in the distance, a single prominent cloud in the sky, and a river in the foreground. This work is an excellent example of 19th-century printmaking and provides a glimpse into the rural life of the Netherlands during the period.
