Huse ved en flod 1650

"Huse ved en flod" (Houses by a River) is a 1650 drawing by Dutch artist Jan van Goyen, known for his atmospheric landscapes. This small, detailed work, currently at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a river scene with buildings and figures. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes capture the light and shadow of the river, adding depth and realism to the composition. This drawing is a fine example of van Goyen's characteristic use of a simple palette and expressive lines, capturing the beauty of the Dutch countryside.
