Reizigers in een huifkar steken een rivier over 1765 - 1843

This pencil sketch by Cornelis van Hardenbergh, titled "Reizigers in een huifkar steken een rivier over" (Travelers in a covered wagon crossing a river), depicts a scene of a horse-drawn carriage crossing a river. The light sketch, likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, showcases van Hardenbergh's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the movement of the figures and the landscape. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, showcasing the Dutch painter's artistic journey and the enduring popularity of landscape art in the Netherlands.
