Kanaal met boerderij en een boot 1630 - 1700

This anonymous Dutch drawing, created sometime between 1630 and 1700, showcases a characteristic landscape scene. The artwork depicts a tranquil canal with a farmhouse and a boat in the foreground. The composition is typical of Dutch landscape drawings from the period, with a focus on the natural world and its details. The artist's use of hatching and shading adds depth and texture to the scene, creating a sense of realism and tranquility. The drawing's small size, measuring just 77 mm in height and 185 mm in width, suggests it was likely a private work, perhaps created as a study or a memento of the Dutch countryside. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic practices of the Dutch Golden Age.
