Juli 1754 - 1820

"Juli" is a delicate pen-and-ink drawing created by Dutch artist Hermanus Numan in the late 18th century. It depicts a rural scene with figures loading hay onto a cart, horses, and a distant church steeple. The composition emphasizes the open landscape, with a soft, hazy atmosphere suggesting a tranquil moment in the countryside. This drawing showcases Numan's talent for capturing the essence of Dutch landscape, a genre he is renowned for. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and stands as a testament to the artist's keen eye for detail and sensitive portrayal of rural life.
