River Scene with Windmill and Boats, Evening c. 1645

Anthonie van Borssom's "River Scene with Windmill and Boats, Evening" (c. 1645) is a captivating depiction of a Dutch river at dusk. The painting masterfully captures the soft light of the setting sun, casting long shadows across the water and the surrounding landscape. Several boats, some with sails, are seen navigating the river while a windmill stands on the shore, a symbol of Dutch industry and rural life. The work is a testament to the artist's skill in rendering the subtle nuances of light and atmosphere.
