Salomon van Ruysdael

Cleveland Museum of Art

A castle on a riverbank; the castle is made of brown stone and has several towers; it is right on the riverbank, on the right side of the painting. The river is large and calm, reflecting the sky. In the foreground, a small wooden boat with 4 people; a man rows. Further out on the river are more boats, one with a single sail. The sky is cloudy and gray. Trees line the riverbank behind the castle. Other boats and a town are in the far background.
