Riviergezicht 1764 - 1826

This etching, titled "Riviergezicht" (River View), was created by Dutch artist Gerrit Groenewegen between 1764 and 1826. The artwork, now held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a serene river scene with a small boat filled with animals and figures in the foreground. The distant background features a large ship with its sails billowing in the wind, giving a sense of scale and movement to the composition. Groenewegen's meticulous detail and use of light and shadow create a realistic and captivating view of the river landscape.
