Gezicht op de Schelde bij Breskens 1860 - 1921

"Gezicht op de Schelde bij Breskens" (View of the Scheldt at Breskens) is a pencil drawing by Adolf le Comte, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and seascapes. Created between 1860 and 1921, the artwork depicts a serene view of the Scheldt River, with a single sailboat sailing across the water. The shoreline is visible in the foreground, with a few posts partially submerged in the water. The distant cityscape of Breskens, located in the Netherlands, is also depicted, with the sky above filled with clouds. This drawing exemplifies le Comte's sensitive depiction of nature and his mastery of the pencil medium, creating a sense of tranquility and natural beauty in this small-scale work.
