River Scene 1645 - 1699

This red chalk drawing by Dutch artist Abraham Rutgers depicts a serene river scene. Created between 1645 and 1699, the artwork showcases Rutgers' skill in capturing the tranquility of the natural world. The delicate lines of the trees and the gentle curve of the riverbank create a sense of peace and harmony. A small boat with two figures in the distance adds a touch of human presence to the otherwise idyllic landscape. The artwork is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
