Dorpsgezicht te Breukelen met trekschuit op de Vecht 1713 - 1780

This etching, created by Jan de Beijer between 1713 and 1780, depicts a view of Breukelen, a Dutch town situated on the Vecht river. The print showcases the picturesque landscape with a trekschuit (a type of canal barge) in the foreground, conveying the importance of water transport in the region. The artist's detailed depiction of the buildings, trees, and the river creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the charm of the Dutch countryside. It's a quintessential example of 18th-century Dutch landscape art. The print is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the history and beauty of a bygone era in the Netherlands.
