About the piece

Dating to 1651, this oil on canvas by Jacobus Storck depicts a lively yet peaceful river scene. The composition leads the eye from the foreground figures and animals along the shoreline to the graceful sailing vessels and the imposing architecture of a distant town, all bathed in soft, atmospheric light characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age style.
