The Donkey Led to the River by Herman van Swanevelt: A black-and-white landscape drawing of a wooded riverbank scene. The scene on the left shows a woman in a long dress holding a baby while an angel kneels on the left. Another figure is on a donkey standing on a path in the middle. A large tree dominates the left half. In the background, the riverbank with trees slopes down to a river. On the horizon are low hills and a cloudy sky. The composition includes a fallen tree trunk in the foreground. The entire scene is rendered in detailed line work.
