River landscape with figures 

This drawing by Jan Both, a Dutch painter active during the 17th century, depicts a serene river landscape with figures. The piece, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, is notable for its delicate use of charcoal and its realistic portrayal of a river winding through a hilly countryside. The composition includes several figures, suggesting a narrative, possibly a group of travelers or villagers navigating the river, adding a sense of human activity to the otherwise peaceful scene.
