Artist, Dutch, 1819 - 1891

The image shows a river scene with a sailboat anchored near the bank. Buildings and trees can be seen in the distance. The style is akin to an etching with detailed linear strokes. The color scheme is monochromatic with shades of black on a cream background. Low buildings and trees are visible on the horizon against a sky with wispy clouds. Scrubby vegetation and wooden posts are in the foreground along the riverbank.
