Abraham Teerlink’s “View of a riverbed (the Tiber?)” is a pencil drawing from the 19th century that depicts a riverbed possibly of the Tiber River, a river that runs through Rome. The scene shows a mountainous landscape with a town or village nestled in the valley. The riverbed is in the foreground, with rocks and trees bordering its banks. Teerlink was a Dutch painter and draughtsman known for his landscapes and architectural drawings. His works often featured picturesque scenes of nature, including riverbeds, mountains, and forests. This drawing is a testament to Teerlink's skill in capturing the details and nuances of the natural world.
Comments
Many artists scrupulously inscribed on their drawings where and when they made them. Abraham Teerlink sometimes forgot to do this, and so we are often left guessing as to the geographic location and date of origin of his drawings. We still do not know where he drew this sweeping view of a town along a river nestled among hills.
