Riviergezicht met vissersboot 1850

Albertus van Beest's "Riviergezicht met vissersboot" (1850) captures a tranquil river scene with a fisherman in a boat. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's keen eye for detail as he depicts a windmill in the distance, a lone boat with a fisherman, and the subtle ripples of the water. The minimalist style, utilizing soft washes of brown, creates a sense of quietude and evokes the atmosphere of a peaceful river setting.
