View of Dordrecht from the River

Jacob van Strij

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape drawing of a river scene. A small boat with two people, one rowing and the other sitting, is positioned in the lower left corner, with tall grasses nearby. The people wear hats and casual clothing. In the foreground to the right, a larger boat with its sails down is moored. In the background, a town or village is visible along the riverbank, with several other boats and buildings. The sky above is overcast and gray. The entire scene is rendered in shades of brown and gray on a rectangular piece of paper with a darker border. The town on the horizon appears to be Dordrecht.
