Riviergezicht met een boot before 1702

Nicolaes van Lijnhoven's "Riviergezicht met een boot" (River View with a Boat) is a pen and ink drawing dating from before 1702. It depicts a Dutch river scene with a boat at anchor, likely a barge, with several people on board. The simple, detailed lines of the drawing are characteristic of van Lijnhoven's style. This small drawing, measuring 111 mm by 172 mm, highlights the artist's keen observation of the natural world and his ability to capture the essence of a scene with a few precise strokes.
