This painting of a wooded riverside draws our attention into a harmonious natural landscape. The lush greenery of the trees—their leaves gently fluttering in the breeze—serves as an emblem of the untainted beauty of the Dutch countryside. The riverside, a critical component of the Dutch landscape, reflects the mindset of an era that cherished its waterways not only for their economic utility but also for their aesthetic value.
Condition commensurate with age. Craquelure present along the surface of the painting. Minor scuffs and nicks to the frame.
