About the piece

Attributed to the Dutch Golden Age master Meindert Hobbema, this late 17th-century landscape depicts a tranquil river town. Figures in small rowing boats occupy the foreground, while a stone bridge and quaint gabled houses line the water's edge, all under a dramatic, light-filled sky that illustrates the era's focus on atmosphere and technical light play.
