Riviergezicht 1786 - 1850

"Riviergezicht" (River View) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Gerrit Lamberts, now in the Rijksmuseum. Painted between 1786 and 1850, the work depicts a river scene with a large sailing boat in the foreground. The painting is characterized by a calm and serene atmosphere. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting Lamberts' mastery of watercolor technique. The subtle detail of the sail and the figures on the boat, against the backdrop of the vast expanse of water and sky, evokes the tranquility of the Dutch landscape.
