River with house and rowboat
17th century
David Colijns invites you to a quiet 17th-century Dutch afternoon, where a vast, pale sky dominates a serene river landscape. A modest house peeks out from a cluster of tall, spindly trees on the left bank, while a tiny rowboat carrying a few figures glides peacefully across the water. Framed by a striking black and gold border, this Baroque drawing captures the tranquil, everyday beauty of the countryside, proving that you don't need grand historical events to create a masterpiece.
