Dijkgezicht buiten Amsterdam 1785

Jurriaan Andriessen’s 1785 watercolor *Dijkgezicht buiten Amsterdam* depicts a rural landscape outside of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The view from the dijk (dike) shows a waterway in the distance with several sailboats, a wooden fence, and a path leading to a small village with a church in the background. Andriessen’s painting captures the tranquility of the Dutch countryside with its soft light and subtle color palette, which is characteristic of 18th-century Dutch landscape paintings.
