Schuurtje aan het water c. 1788 - 1835

François Joseph (II) Pfeiffer's *Schuurtje aan het water* is a pen and ink drawing depicting a rustic scene of a dilapidated shack beside a waterway. The artist, known for his landscapes and architectural drawings, captures a simple, everyday moment, using subtle shading to create depth and form. The piece likely dates to the late 18th or early 19th century, reflecting Pfeiffer's focus on capturing the details of the Dutch countryside. The drawing showcases his talent for conveying texture, with the rough wood of the shack contrasting against the smooth surface of the water.
