Gezicht in het dorp Nieuwland, met de kerk Possibly 1750 - 1758

This drawing by Dutch artist Jan de Beijer, dating back to the mid-18th century, depicts a view of the village of Nieuwland. "Gezicht in het dorp Nieuwland, met de kerk" is a detailed portrayal of the village's church, the church's spire reaching towards the sky, and the surrounding buildings and landscape. The drawing is characterized by its delicate lines and shading, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The inclusion of a date, "11 Aug 1750," suggests that this is a specific, realistic view, rather than an idealized one. Today, this artwork can be found in the renowned Rijksmuseum. This drawing is an important documentation of the Dutch landscape and architecture of the time.
