This pencil drawing by Cornelis van Hardenbergh depicts the flood of 1809 in Millingen aan de Rijn, a village in the Netherlands. The simple, yet detailed composition captures the aftermath of the devastating event, with a line of buildings barely visible above the waterline. The drawing's raw, almost rudimentary style reflects the immediacy of the event, making it a poignant record of a significant moment in Dutch history.
